Poetry Collections

  • Poems Amused by Caspar David Friedrich
  • Collection of poems inspired by each of German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich’s (1774-1840) pictures. For information about the muse, click here. These conceptual poems are serial, being released roughly once per week until finished.


  • Plein Air Poems
  • Poems written in the “open air,” as a picture might be painted in view of the subject. My plein air poems were written either while in nature, immediately, or shortly after returning to my bureau, approximately.


  • Aural Poems
  • Poems composed equally for their form as substance, whimsical and gluttonous. Spuriously spawned, these abstract, subjective orphans might be adopted or neglected by all readers. I allow myself total play for this collection—be warned. Such poems are sometimes called “sound poems,” atmospheric and aesthetic in nature.


  • All Poems
  • All poems from the above collections.
