The author of "Lucid Waking" presents a new collection of poems.

This first collection of poems contains mostly short, easy-to-read pieces that make little demand on the reader except that they be enjoyed. This is, in other words, a poetry to be consumed. Set primarily in suburban Washington, D.C., they cover everything from the simple pleasures of local landmarks to the quintessential experience of starting a new life in a new subdivision. Readers familiar with Imagist poetry or the poetry of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound will find much to enjoy here.
