Dreams of Mr. Rabbit was based on something real – but isn’t all poetry? I’ve been in contact with the man who inspired that poem – he asked me to read it to him. He said hearing me read it, hearing my voice recite those words, helped him understand something that he’d never understood before.
Fairly Tale – which will be published next month – is similar in theme, but about a completely different experience and man.
For many of us, fairy tales are our first introduction to literature, our fist introduction to love; therefore, subverting these themes, bending them out of shape to fit the world we live in and the experiences we live through seems to come quite naturally.
Endings are good and bad. Most of the time, even the bad endings are for the best.

You break into a thousand angels

My poem, Fairly Tale, will be published in April Fools next month – No kidding!
