Poems from the Threshold (Paperback)

My physical limitations make it impossible for me to go off and promote this book so I feel that I can t ask HPP to bear the costs of publication of a book that can t be promoted by the full capacity of the press. Rather than participate in the editorial process I chose these poems myself and I am publishing this chapbook. These poems are an expression of my current process: how cancer left me immunocompromised in a pandemic and Parkinson s disease has created waking dreams. Glaucoma which would seem to be the least dangerous has cost me the most. I can t read nor write nor drive a car nor play tennis nor do anything to enjoy the full spectrum of what life has to offer so I remain indebted to the poetic process to find life s significance learning to embrace what remains.
