Broken Tulips

Poetry March 2013 ISBN 978-1-936628-18-6 32 pages Softcover, 5½" x 8½"

"The poems in this fine collection view love as both a desire and a dilemma, the kind of passion found in other poets willing to confront the heart with such honesty, namely Neruda. If desire is ever perfect, it is only perfect once—and then what? That last flicker of a question is a sharp yet satisfying pang running through these poems. Meanwhile, behind the intensity shared by two, we have the wider world, which is either indifferent or falling apart. These poems are not simply wise or desperate—they are both at once." - Maurice Manning, Author of The Common Man
