Reviews

"[Dragons] moves with quiet elegance. His contemplative tone plumbs the depth of the natural world--and its humor, too." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "[Dragons] explores the present and past with effortless rhyme and gentle music . . . These poems are well wrought and moving, each filled with a 'mild expectancy' that connects the mundane with the awe that gives life meaning." --Publishers Weekly
