He was awakened to contemporary poetry while attending a reading by Ed Dorn. Since 1971, he has published ten books of poems, a children's book, and a memoir. Not a disciple of specialization, he believes that artistic expression, not the maker, will suggest the appropriate medium. He expresses himself in writing, song, and visual art. This is a collection of expressions which have chosen the form of poetry.\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Itasca Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54526373593363,"sku":"9781934909645","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/3521\/2563\/files\/9781934909645ita.jpg?v=1785852006","url":"https:\/\/danuc.net\/products\/the-mercy-of-distance-new-and-selected-poems","provider":"Danu's Wardrobe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
