Moments in Antiquity is a select collection of poems intended to share a small part of man’s heart with an audience of unknown souls. Each poem has been hand-picked by the poet to touch on a specific feeling. The order of the poems is meant to walk the reader through events of self-discovery, impassioned longing, and the hard-fought battles of the self. In this collection are love poems, honest admissions, and passionate promises. It is the hope of the author that anyone who chooses to read the poems will walk away knowing that they are appreciated for having done so.
"So, I thank you. I thank your lack of expectation. I thank your support. I thank your love. I thank you."

A Pre-Posthumous Collection
My second chapbook collection of short poems is now available in print (and Kindle)
You can pick up a copy on Amazon.com for just $10.00 (HERE) - Free with Kindle Unlimited
A Pre-Posthumous Collection is a selection of work created during a period of abundant change and tragic loss. Each poem has been handpicked by the poet as homage to a person, place, or time that had a huge impact both in that moment and--as time has proven--for all the moments that have followed. In this collection are remembrances for lost family members, love poems, social commentaries, pleas for understanding, acknowledgments of faith, and hopes for the future. It is with great love and commitment that these words were written down; it is with great love and pride that they are offered to be read and enjoyed.
"There is nothing I am more grateful for, than having been able to share this miracle... with you."

Important, Inseparable, Irrelevant, Irreverent.
My third chapbook collection of short poems is now available in print (and Kindle)
You can pick up a copy on Amazon.com for just $10.00 (HERE) - Free with Kindle Unlimited
Important, Inseparable, Irrelevant, Irreverent is a collection of poems written over the course of thirty-one days in August of 2020 during the middle of the global pandemic. This collection was inspired by the poet's upcoming wedding – which was impacted by the pandemic – and influenced heavily by the events going on in the world at that time. As the title implies, some of the poems have a certain gravitas; some celebrate the nature of marriage; many had nothing to do with the theme of love which was the intent at the start; and some are just silly side thoughts which met the day’s poetry quota.
“it can be these dark ages, that push us all, to accomplish more.”

"Deep" Stuff is small collection of poems that struck me as being "about something." They are inspirations followed by words that, when I stopped to finally read them, made me think about what they meant. I suppose, the reality is, they made me stop and think about what I meant to say. One might assume that the author of a poem has a specific intention when they set out to string together words; I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't have that. I just write and write and try to figure it out once I'm done.
Love and Friendship is a small group of poems that I felt deserved to be categorized separately from the rest. They are poems that I wrote intentionally (or accidentally) for friends, family, or lovers. Or... about friends family or lovers; given that I rarely write poems FOR a person. Though I have! And some of them are featured here!
Silly Things contains some of the poems I wrote that I both liked and found amusing--in a giggling, shaking of my head, exasperated sigh kinda' way. I have written a lot of "silly things" down on paper, but most of them haven't deserved even a moment of potential limelight. These ones--I feel--do.
Personal Poems are, as you might assume, poems about me. These are the ones where I have tried to pry open my own clockwork in an attempt to see how I tick. I have a lot more of these than a happy person probably should, but I can justify it by suggesting that some of these poems (and the process I use to make them) are what allow me to know so much about myself that I can choose to be happy.
The Road is an ongoing story told in poetic form that I have been working on since I began to write poetry in 2002. The goal is to write between twenty-five and fifty separate poems in the one story arc that tells the sad tale of a lonely man on his road to redemption. The story is both figuratively and literally about his travels on the road and his personal path through life.
