From the Tree

From the Tree contains 25 years of writing; what I consider to be my more worthwhile of being-passed-on-poetry. This collection contains poetry from various segments of my life spanning from the age of 19 to 44 and it has been, to paraphrase the Grateful Dead, a long strange trip. I have gone from being 19 and knowing all, to being 44 and knowing little. It is interesting that people, aside from the self, make life so interesting and many of you that have known me throughout this time period will see yourself in these words. This work is for all of you.
