As a devoted practitioner of poetry, the written word, and performance art, my apprenticeship to these disciplines has carried me across the world and deep into the inner architecture of each piece I write. As a stage performer, poet, educator, and creative mentor, I hold a deep respect for the early, tender emergence of inspiration and its capacity to mature into accomplished work. A sustained dedication to craft, continually nourished by the artists around me, animates my commitment to supporting those working at the leading edge of their art form. My practice is informed by a lineage that spans from the enduring voices of Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson to contemporary writers such as Mary Oliver and David Whyte.
If you are looking for a Creative Mentor to bring a high level of authenticity to your art, to your craft, you could not choose a better ally. - Conrad Caton

WHY POETRY MATTERS
A Night In Mendocino (A Poetic Monologue)

Irreversible
a declaration made impossibly simple
place the empty into-
where are your hiding places
holding spaces
heated mazes
long distance dazed
in
wrapping insults - the tempered heart
rapture contains the moving parts
compel a push rising to meet
we all sing the blues when the river runs
dry
where do you get your water
what happened to your father
i know what is half way there-
i still have to breathe through it
breathe here
collecting the dust
rising above the bust
burst
through can be a way
through
can be a way to wet & scrapping
through
you
we all sometimes resemble our failures
our fore-bears
when the night is long - the thief is gone
& the day appears
irreversible
