NEW BOOK NOW AVAILABLE!
I am delighted to announce that my newest book of poems has been released by Kelsay Books. It is titled Traveling on the Number Nine Bus and is written entirely in Nonet or reverse Nonet form. Each Nonet poem is nine lines long and follows a syllable count of nine syllables in the first line, eight syllables in the second line, seven syllables in the third line, and so on. Reverse Nonet poems begin with one syllable. I've used this form to tell the story of a bus traveling a route through an unnamed city, its passengers, its driver, the places it goes, as well as the secrets on the bus. It is a chronicle of everyday people that rely on the bus. Even if you don't regularly use the bus, you'll enjoy the stories of the riders, their quirks and their challenges, all written in poetry.
The book is available to purchase from the publisher--Kelsay Books, or Bookshop.org or Amazon, for $20 plus tax and shipping.
