REM Sunshine - my newly released poetry collection

Mythird book of poetry, REM Sunshine, is now released. Poems in thiscollection are reflective while unraveling their subject. They oftenexplore underlying associations or, in the terms of Carl Jung, theshadow or archetypal side of perception. Some of the poems weretriggered by sleep dreams and other poems arose from experiences orobservations that seemed as unusual as dream in memory.
