A collection for the untethered souls, finding their way back home...
Fingernail Moon: A Coalcracker Looks for Glassboro
"This is how
we come to know
one another:statue by statue;
leaf by leaf;
fragments of ourselves,
gathered and assembled
into quiet initiations
of discovery..."
These poems emerged from a year of quiet, attentive evening walks through the streets of our neighborhood—a reaching out to the Spirit of another place… and a deeply personal encounter with its rhythms, its hesitations, and its unexpected graces. In opening myself to its idiosyncrasies—and offering a few of my own in return—a subtle exchange unfolded: a conversation carried by intuition, silence, and mutual recognition.
What lives in these pages is not a recollection of what was, but a record of what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to welcome—and be welcomed in. Each poem offers a small threshold: an invitation to notice, to soften, to discover the Spirit of a place that has always been there,
waiting for us to acknowledge it.
About the Author
The words come from years of tending to the lost and wounded parts of myself as best I can, with compassion and integrity, and from a belief that the smallest truths often carry the deepest light. They come from listening — to the wind, to memory, to the quiet places that know the first stirring of words.In that sense, I see writing as an act of stewardship rather than performance — a welcoming of each line as it arrives, in its own way, in its own time. I pray these words meet you gently, however far you’ve traveled on your way back home. home.
