THE WRACK LINE is a moving collection of poems about how family, loss, the passage of time, and social/environmental stresses demarcate symbolic wrack lines across our lives as we scatter the flotsam from our choices behind us. From personal lyric poems to narrative poems about hurricane Katrina, global warming and violence, the poet uses imagery and a modern take on myths that transform language into beautiful, sensual, sometimes lush depictions of the world in its dark complexities.
