"Outside the Inner Dialogue" is a collection of Haiku poems written during the turn of the Millennium. The task of writing "A Haiku a Day for a Year" emerged from Don searching out a constructive and productive means in dealing with his Grandmother's passing. While sticking with the traditional 5-7-5 line syllable structure, he's chosen to play with the Haikus in unconventional and contrasting ways, exploring any and every subject that comes to mind. It's about taking notice of our surroundings to the most minute and finite degree. This is the first book in the Lake Parking Trilogy.

LIFE, DEATH, & THE FACES AND PLACES BETWEEN is a collection of 57 poems created over six years, between 1997 and 2003, expressed from the perspective of a man in his mid to late twenties. The poems examine life and death through various poetic styles and viewpoints, probing into territories, both familiar and uncommon. The book tackles a variety of subjects: From hate crimes to love ballads, from surviving cancer to surviving 9-11, from nature to the nature of man: all set against the backdrop of what it is to live in these unpredictable times. It´ s a reflection of the world and encourages the reader to look beyond the surface for greater meaning. The poems were inspired by first hand experiences, observations of others, and thoughts that seemed to spill out upon the page. It is a fascinating and vulnerable exploration told through poetry.
