Synopsis

Perception consists of short poems rooted in observed objects. Using metaphoric description as well as association, the poems inhabit the objects or entities that they contemplate--ranging from paintings and shop signs to wallpaper and flower species. These poems are seeking to enact a tenor of attention--the power of singular focus--that is too easily lost in our multitasking age.
