I appreciate the way that you communicate themes of spiritual hunger & redemptive longing through seemingly ordinary objects & circumstances that find a quiet transformational power in your mastery of consecrated imagery.

I really love the exile poem! The break between the 2nd and 3rd line is perfectly placed to open the image to profound spiritual contemplation.

I have only just been introduced to your work. Is the first line autobiographical? And does it also reference Ezra Pound?

A humble response :

There is a touch of the nature poem in all of this with a diction that has a mark pointing to a poetic language that is never trivial. Good read!
