Even-Turn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962847346)

The poems in Even-Turn inhabit the delicate spaces between perception and memory, exploring how clarity often arrives through indirection. A floater crossing the eye, the true sound of a shell held to the ear, a river glimpsed and remembered: small anomalies of seeing become apertures into deeper experience. Through spare, vivid language, the work traces the edges of what is known and unknown, celebrating the brief moments when the ordinary world flickers into revelation. At once lyrical and precise, these poems invite the reader into a world where attention itself becomes a form of devotion - and where even the faintest gesture can offer the possibility of transformation.

In these poems, perception blurs into memory, and small moments of attention open onto vast interior landscapes. Moving between clarity and mystery, the collection invites readers to dwell in the quiet strangeness of the everyday - where a flicker of light, a fragment of memory, or a half-heard song can reveal the whole architecture of a life.Sample:

"Some days, seeing is nothing more than a stack of ifs, a totem, a craggy fray, a fleck of dust that catches the eye and for a split second makes everything crystal clear." -Dead Reckoning
