The Light of Borrowed Splendor: A Poem in Seven Prayers

The Light of Borrowed Splendor is an epic poem about a journey to the edge of life and the renewal of the human heart. Set on a mystical mountain beyond the "further shore," a pair of pilgrims search for the Silver-Tressed Alchemist, her lover, and the sacred portal to eternity. Along the path, the pair share their history, sorrow, gratitude, and wonder about life, love, and beauty.

A second collection includes poems of the American South written over a twenty-year period. The poems wrestle with the interplay between history and harm, love and loss, hope and despair, and ultimately lead the reader back to the mountain on which the book began, where we can hear

The love that never stops echoing
Across the canyons of life calling, calling
For us to scratch out a new spring.
