More Shadow Than Bird

The poems in "More Shadow Than Bird" are imagistic narratives of emotional situations that offer not the story of a life, but of the consciousness accompanying the life lived. This consciousness, even as it operates on a more symbolic level, is embodied-not abstract or removed- conveying a sense of rawness and honesty that is rare in non-representational work.
