Part of poetry’s power is its magical, seemingly sacred, unreachable references, as contrasted, for instance, with the mundanity of news articles’ banal, commonplace orientations. Likewise, though both balladry and straightforward compiling are products of human endeavor, collective norms establish different ends for the two. Poesy and essays might cover the same topics, as exemplified, repeatedly, by the literatures of war, emancipation, and marriage, but they differ in predictable ways.

ShoreLINES
ShoreLINES is an anthology of short stories and poetry, inspired by the beautiful Lake Cumberland area of Pulaski County, Kentucky, and compiled by the Pulaski Writer’s Alliance.
Communicated Childbirth Options
This collection of poems operates without the constraints of particular sentiments; everything never was nor ever will be equal despite our civilization’s insistence on guidelines for thinking, speaking, and acting. Accordingly, age-old prescriptive, and descriptive linguistic theories, which are exemplified by the content of many sacred and secular texts, fail to thrill modern folks. That is, when we skip free of others’ opinions, we create better poetry.
Rudiments
Rudiments strives to reify ourselves over and again, sometimes, we succeed in making sense out of ourselves, and, sometimes, we succeed in making sense out of our associations with other people.
The Wife/Mom
The Wife/Mom explores possible answers to integrate women’s roles by addressing communal stances on both visible and hidden, gender-based strata.
A field Where Memories Grow
The Poet’s Moon
An excerpt from the poem, The Poet’s Moon.
I sit upon the shore bathed in the light of the poet’s moon.
The quiet of the evening is broken by the whispering of the tide.
A zephyr carried upon the waves caresses my cheek as a lovers touch.
I close my eyes and listen to the symphony of the sea.
