Book excerpt: The poems in More Shadow Than Bird are imagistic narratives of emotional situations that offer not the story of a life, but of the consciousness accompanying the life lived. The quirky perspective and musical surface of these poems makes them engaging— deceptively catchy, even— as a mysterious darkness tows from beneath to draw the reader deeper in. This consciousness, even as it operates on a more philosophical level, is embodied—not abstract or removed— conveying a sense of rawness and honesty that is rare in non-representational work.
