Directions For Losing Your Way

Directions for Losing Your Way is a series of poems that veer from being as light and breezy as a flammulated owl, to the dry lugubriousness of "To my Most Unbeloved Pet Lymphoma. They are rich in humor, in word-play, in sensuality, in song. They are short on the factual based, the erudite, the cerebral . Unbounded by any particular poetic form, tradition, or national/religious/sexual consciousness, they seek to delight and deepen the senses on a many- faceted journey into the head and heart of a woman, as she spirals inward to find the "aim, the heart, the crux, the core" of loss and discovery.

This is a book that will not rust or gather dust on your shelf. Its themes, its ideas, are neither "woke" nor "unwoken". They are as much of this time and this place as they are of every time and place, belonging to that rare realm of words that connect inner and outer aspects of what is real, true, vital. The poems concatenate with each other, forming a sort of path into these *bifurcated woods of the world".
