Citizen: The Poet's Cut
A selection of 50 poems by the poet.
Citizen itself was a filtering of my poems over several years, and I believe all the poems have a modicum of merit. Few roses, few thorns, but a weighty bouquet of little aroma. This slim collection (not that The Dark Years is a tome by any means), harvests the voice that I tried to achieve in my years as a struggling poet, and leaves here the brighter flowers to remain for show.
