Out With the Old

Poetry for over sixty years.

Some of these verses were born in sunlit kitchens. Others came late at night, when the world was silent except for the hum of memory. Together, they map a life its jagged turns, its soft landings, its attempts to make sense of a changing world.

The collection drifts through familiar landscapes: family bonds that stretch across generations, love that lingers and love that leaves, the ache of loss, the pull of politics, and the everyday moments that somehow mean everything.

Readers often say the poems feel like intimate, unhurried conversations, sometimes wry, sometimes raw. Each piece stands alone, but together they create a rhythm that mirrors a well-lived life: steady, surprising, and never without beauty.
