What is the aim or goal of your writing: "Over all, my goal with poetry has been to write poems that have power and meaning in as few words as possible. My poems do not ramble. They reflect my belief in seeking meanings beyond the first impression. From the Belly of Jonah's Whale deals with death and dying issues. From Where We Come deals with inner peace and strength."
