| Publisher Description: The Fall of a Sparrow is the collection I have worked on for the majority of my adult life. It is a full length publication of poetry, as opposed to shorter books which pair with photography, and contains some of the work of which I am most proud. My goal with this book was to tell a story through the course of the poetry, so that if one chose to read the book from cover to cover, they would have an experience similar to reading a novella or verse novel. However, I also wanted each poem to stand on its own, so if a person where to just pick it up and flip through they could find a poem which resonates for them. No one has told me yet if I have accomplished this goal although I have asked many. I feel I may have failed but none of my friends or reviewers will tell me. Or maybe it is so bad that no one has ever finished it. After all, I shopped it for several years before placing it with Swimming with Elephants Publications. Regardless, it is a collection I am proud to have my name on and one which I feel represent my writing ability the best. |
