Synopsis

These meditative poems reflect a serious regard for the concept of time as subjective, a conception mediated through dream-experience. Such a conception is used by the poet as a principal vehicle for human healing, and the language invokes a largely universal voice that resonates with deep human needs - especially those conveyed by sound and meditative reflection. Informed by Allen Ginsberg's suggestion that we do well to "listen to what we are thinking," they were largely constructed in solitude, and in tranquil, silent environments, where the author was able to shut out virtually all distractions. The effect of the poems is to transfer that quietude, and its transformative possibilities, over to the meditative reader.
