My debut book of poetry is an exploration of the human condition. Selected works range from memories of childhood in a small New England town to the thoughts of a twenty-something lost in the bright lights of New York City. In dealing with such topics as loss, separation, identity, and love, this collection serves as a portrait of all life juxtaposed with the universe. "Here Forever Where We Weren't" is an homage to the past, a plea for the present, and a warning for the future.
