Project End of Days Selected Poems 1987-2027

 I started writing poetry in 1987 while I was an Undergraduate at Viginia Tech.  Almost 40 years later I am still writing and painting and making music with our bands Spectral Arts & Project Morning Star, which feels like a great blessing still to recieve from Heaven after all of these years. The Beginning of the End and Light & Shadow remain ongoing and Vandalia (the companion to The River of Swans) will also be ongoing. Many of these recent poems will be included in  Project End of Days Selected Poems 1987-2027, however this book will not be a collected works at this time. Wildflowers will be a return to my early poetic form (Notebook Poems) combined with recent poetic revelation and will also be ongoing until I am no longer able to write here on Earth.
