Description
Light is a phenomenon analyzed by science, celebrated in literature, and symbolized by religions.
Light and nature in all these aspects form the source of meaning in these poems. The sublime reality that encompasses the spectacularly grandiose as well as the common can be realized through the beauty of life's interconnected web. But questions that struggle with the relationship between human responsibility and survival have never been more prominent than now. Human understanding has never been so close to nature and never more destructive and exploitive of it. Human cultures have focused on human meaning in building civilizations, but survival seems now to require a more fundamental existential awareness of the totality of life.

Person
Raised a minister's son in New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma, I received an MA in English as well as a Masters in Library Science from the University of Oklahoma which led happily to a profession working at once with the broad spectrum of literary arts and information in all fields. After a start in academic reference my professional career led me to three decades of work in information technology for the public library system in Norman, Oklahoma. Proud father of three children and three grandchildren, I enjoy exploring beauty and mystery especially in nature, and expressing my appreciation for life through words, music, and photography.
