What is the aim or goal of your writing: "I aim to be accessable as well as literary. My poetry is lyrical, metaphoric, and sometimes surreal. I believe in the art of telling stories and the joy of playing with language. I believe that humor is sometimes a way of being very serious. My goal is to connect with my readers on a level of deep image and sound, to share experience of the inner as well as the outer landscape of our lives."
