Publisher Marketing: Narrative poems that embody the complexity of connection and disconnection

Calling from the Scaffoldis a collection of poems about connecting and not connectingof approaching the brink of connecting. Its about paying tribute and salvaging and gratitude. The voices vary in their longings: we hear from men and women, the young and no longer young. Nature often is there to help them out. The poet, also a writer of fiction and nonfiction, is interested in story, in his characters ability to move down the road, searching for their best selves, best home, putting together the pieces that move them toward that famous happy ending.
