As a true lover of poetry, the written word and performance art, the apprenticeship to my artistic crafts have led me around the world and deep within the line of every poem I write. As a stage performer, poet, educator and creative mentor, I believe in the power of that gentle early sprouting of inspiration that leads to masterful work. Dedication to craft, inspired by the work of those around me, is the life blood of what motivates my impulse to support those on the leading edge of their art form. My work is inspired by the classic words of Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson to contemporary writers Mary Oliver & David Whyte.

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
