What Our Shoes Say About Us

Explores life's fragilities and inevitabilities, and our frail attempts at seeking contentment in a precarious world. These poems often blend the personal, political, and fantastical in a voice which has the ability to combine a mixture of humor and understated menace. Love is celebrated but on a cliff's ledge. The country's economy comes crashing down. The world's oldest shoe is found in an Armenian cave but looks so familiar. The poems in this collection, some clearly autobiographical others experiments in imagination, encompass a lifetime.
