Some of My Parts

A lifetime of wonder, distilled into poetry.Some of My Parts is a collection of poems, prose, and meditations gathered from the mental “junk drawer” of a lifetime — memories, musings, encounters, and the flotsam of a richly examined life, finally untangled and set on the page.From intimate love poems to sweeping reflections on mortality, from a young knight’s dream-within-a-dream to surreal visions of an AI-watched world, this collection moves with the restless curiosity of a mind that never stopped asking questions. Tenderness and mystery, humor and grief, the mundane made luminous — all of it is here.What readers will find inside:Whether you find yourself in the tender “After 240 Bouquets,” the haunting “A Cubical,” or the playful “Caught in the Act of Dancing,” each poem opens a door into a world that feels at once entirely personal and unmistakably shared.Lyric meditations on love, memory, and the passage of timePhilosophical and narrative poems that blur the line between waking and dreamElegies for fathers, vigils over children, and quiet celebrations of long marriagesSurreal visions of the modern world and the strangeness hidden inside everyday lifeA cast of recurring characters — Stanley, Reality, Blanch — whose lives weave through the pages like old friends Read more
