ASPECTS OF LIGHT
These poems were written in a flurry of energy in 1999 as part of a song cycle. They were recently rediscovered in a long forgotten file. They were originally made available in a very limited edition handmade chapbook. I am pleased to present them here in digital form. ~ MB
Songs of Confession and Praise
Written over a two day session in 1999, during an extended and intense cycle of writing, these poems explore our relationship with both ourselves and the Universe. The original edition was released as a very limited handmade chapbook given to close friends. In rediscovering the files, these words are as appropriate today as then. Enjoy. ~ MB
