Michael Longley once wrote "If most people who called themselves poets were tightrope-walkers, they'd be dead." It's one of my favorite quotes by another poet.
Almost fifteen years in the making, this little tome represents thousands of hours of reading, writing, reviewing, critiquing, editing ... and publishing. Almost all of the pieces contained within its covers have been published, at one time or another, either in literary journals (in print) or on the 'Net (in digits). This collection also contains two Pushcart Prize nominations.
