Writing offers a space to land where one can work things out in the privacy of their own heart-mind -- turn them over and around again and again -- until words find their way to meaning, clarity, and sometimes resolution. Revision is the means of refining further and testing the integrity of the expression.

I started writing in the context of this perplexing yet beautiful world, out of a need to understand the journey and respond to it. Generally, inspiration arrives in an off guard moment, when the mind is quiet and heart open.

Float True is a collection of poems that have formed and found expression over a lifetime. The idea of pulling them together into one digestible volume grew and manifested within recent years, as the political landscape grew loud and frightening. The idea of the book is to center life -- through emotion, equanimity, and experience -- in the truth of oneself.
