Interests & Hobbies
For better or for worse, poetry is pretty much the center of my Interest/Hobby Universe. When I'm not working or doing something poetry-oriented or sleeping, I manage to go for long bike rides.
This contemporary poet pays such close attention to spatial awareness and atmosphere that her poems provide engrossing, visual spectra and collages...
Such a thrilling view of nature as an omnipresent force in tangent with the fragility of person-to-person encounters, the poet portrays “the man inside, the fragile day” on a most routine basis (Replacing the Window, Downtown Medford).”
