Noticings as small as purring or as joyful as a child's Wheee form the basis for these poems. They evoke the delicious, sometimes sober emotions and mindset of a meridian-tapping energy psychology practitioner, but the Handful out of Left Field range from the wondrous to the flippant and pure fun.

Pretty Boy is for people who have children in their lives. Pretty Boy chronicles the birth and development of a young cardinal. Pretty Boy, like all children, has to face the wonders and the dangers of his world. He is shepherded by his loving parents as he survives being exposed to a violent storm, a hungry snake and other perils. He learns that despite the dangers, the world of the Cardinals is a good place.
