Studies in Smoke

Studies in Smoke is not fiction. The shared event is actual and the resonance real. So is this.




This poetry remains faithful to traditional form. It is true to life and to living simply while thinking too much.




It is true to the cycle of uneasy, never settled sentiments that prescribe no moral, no message, no mysticism. In plain language and the fitting phrase, this work is authentic to the voices of inanimate shadings, to the shifting shapes that drift into evanescent experience.




This work offers the painterly touches not yet digitalized in the mind’s eye.




Buy the ticket. Take the ride.
