Adrift of a Ruby Yacht is a collection of two sets of rubaiyat.
Each set describes the life of a man according to the seven stages
described by Shakespeare: the infant, the schoolboy, the lover, the
soldier, the justice, the slippered pantaloon, and sans everything.
One set describes life in its positive aspect; the other is quite
the opposite.
Triple Crown is the only triple heroic crown of sonnets in the
English language. The highly structured and interwoven poems deal
with three aspects of reality as seen through the lens of
scripture: the universal, the societal, and the personal. The first
heroic crown of sonnets has a universal theme, the retelling of the
story of Creation. The second sonnet cycle describes the conflicts
of the kings of ancient Israel in the early days of its national
existence. In the final cycle, Job describes his suffering, and
rails against a world which appears to be devoid of justice. Triple
Crown is eclectic, drawing inspiration from Dante, Donne, and the
medieval Hebrew paytanim. It draws from modern cosmology and
ancient kabbalah to examine the intersections where God, man, and
society encounter each other.
