Follow This CreekFoothills Publishing, 2007 My debut chapbook of poems, most poems center around explorations in the natural world. I view language and words as I do nature, places to play in, places to explore. The way words roll across a page or off a tongue is as important as water moving over rock. I have a great connection to the natural world, as writer and photographer. The immediate experiences of my travels and minutiae of encounters inform my writing, being both recorder and storyteller.
