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 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 explores possible answers to integrate women’s roles by addressing communal stances on both visible and hidden, gender-based strata.

An excerpt from the poem, The Poet’s Moon.
I sit upon the shore bathed in the light of the poet’s moon.

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.
