My poems have helped me see things for years now. Looking back on poems written, I discover I see things anew, not only the remembered incidents (when that happens) but also the vision created in my mind by the poem itself. These poems, collected from parts of my life run past now, are glimpses that offer glimpses of what is seen and what that seeing seems to mean. I find the poems best swerve me in becoming the creators of insight and perspective. These have been giving that gift for me.
