About the Author

From Tennessee, into fatherhood, high on a mountain trail, along the river, and through everyday occurrences, 'Who Knows? reports back on what's happening, what's been seen, what's been felt, all from one particular, peculiar, point of view. These poems were written in brief moments, strung together to provide a thread through parts of my life; a point of view, a philosophy of life, whatever you want to call it, mine shows here, hinted at, pointed to, inherent in the very process of writing and found under the stones of the words laid down. I've put a lot of time into mostly Tang Dynasty and earlier Chinese poetry(unfortunately, in translation) which served to inform western poetry's modernist movement which led to the Beats who in turn led me to that Chinese source material in the first place. There's a lot of place happening in these particular poems; more poems about my home and family in Kentucky. Despite living for more than five years in South Korea, it wasn't until a recent visit that I actually wrote about my favorite place in Korea, Bukhansan. Two of my favorite places in England get featured in quite a few poems: Frog Mill where the Buddhafield Village Retreat is held each year, and a certain part of the Frome Valley Walkway where it comes into Bristol. Poetry for me has always been about making a record of moments in my life, as long as those moments see me with my notebook to hand. These moments can capture a feeling or simply record an event; at the best of times I suppose the poems manage to convey the scene or the feeling of a moment. If you read this, then read these poems, I hope some of my transport comes across to you and, most of all, I hope you enjoy the poems, whatever they may do for you.
