Love, and Other Imaginary Constructs Poems 1996 - 2012

"The poems in the four sections of this book, Confessions, Meditations, Artists I Have Known, and Life Songs, reflect my understanding and analysis of the world in which I've lived, of history, literature, art, and of personal and external philosophy; they are expressions of who I am, and of my perceptions of my own time, and how that time relates to other times in history....the poems in these pages also examine the fundamental questions of human existence, of love and caring, of hate and destruction, of desire and defeat, because no question is worth answering more than the one asked of the human heart."from the author's introduction
