"...a glass-bottomed boat of poetry to the depths of my inner ocean and back." 

--Anna Holtzman, transformational coach

"the body but a stream,

full and evanescent, 

drawing breath out of darkness

until the thought of her  

is carried home."​

For the Wounded

"...one is left with a sense of rhythm--the intimate rise and fall of breath in a wounded body that is full of grace and awesomely alive." 

--Thomas McConkie, author of Atonement: Embodying the Fullness of Human Divinity

"As you stand at the edge

of the trees, shining your ache

between tall dark towers of hurt,

do not lose the sound

of rushing water."

"Each poem feels like a breath taken after holding too much in for too long—tender, true, and brave."

​​—Jules Swales, writing teacher and poet

"..supplication cleanses desire 

as it fills the human cathedral, 

stained glass windows

spilling water and light."​
