The Color Between the Hours

"The Color Between the Hours" speaks to romantic love flirting with disaster, loss beyond reason and crime (white collar and otherwise). Addressing the reader as "you," the work explores inner landscapes. Whether it is a woman contemplating her mother's fate while microwaving dinner, or a person working as a psychic because it's required to collect welfare, the poems embrace a reality that is unique and universal at the same time. In these poems, haunted individuals confront danger and occasionally the miraculous. Irony abounds, and last lines will often surprise the reader.
