Listening on the threshold of history, body, and place.

Before dawn, the window to our dreams is half open, and the day has not yet arrived. This is when my listening begins.

I am the author of Uprooted: A Journey in Poems and When the Mapou Sings, a novel in poems. My work is for the curious of all ages.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
-Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
