“If the artist stands at a distance from himself, he may be able to see that even in the depths of his deepest well of darkness, the art itself is still illuminated. The poet falls, the poem ascends. In the end, everything changes and the only thing that remains true is the expression of the moment.” Paul Eisenstein

These are poems and prompted writings I’ve written spanning decades of my life. I am no longer today who I was when I first began writing, nor even who I was in the progression of that duration, so you will find a mixture of emotion and expression, contemplation and resolution.
