Us is a book of poems about love, hurt, fear (and trying to overcome it), energy, music, nature, light, and dark. It is about connection: unconscious, subconscious and waking state connectivity that to my mind and heart pervades everything and explains our love and our hurt and is our true reality. These poems were born out of sympathy for self and "other," that is for Self. They were brewed with tears and squeezed in virtual embrace or stamped with pounded fists to the soundtrack of the great musicians. Indeed, the songs often gathered the tide and tinted the hue of a choppy sea of thought and emotion. The sea is shared. It is Us. The poems are a few waves gathered and bottled in homage.

If purchased through BookBaby for $16.99 (paperback) or $29.99 (hardcover) + $4.99 for shipping (for one copy), exactly 50% of the price of the book (not including shipping) will go directly to the charity; no money passes through me. Please note that I am charging the minimum within cents that BookBaby will allow me to charge. Yes, even for the hardcover! But it’s a good outcome for the charity. If purchased through Amazon for $21.95 (paperback) or $7.99 (ebook), $5.04 passes through me to the charity. I keep records of everything I have received from Amazon and everything I have sent to the charities. Thank you.
About my poetry:
Poems come when they come. Once every couple of months, sometimes more. I feel something, usually some combination of hurt and love, and I hear a rhyme or two. Sometimes I get it all out in one sitting. Sometimes I have to come back to it.
To know you know and know you feel is all you need for being real
