  • A Brief Portfolio

    As the fight went on my father set

  • A Progressive Disease

    I feel my body getting away from me,

  • Discoveries

    What I knew about

  • Elegy & Brooklyn, 1957

    My brother told me we would join the Wide

  • CONGREGATION | AT LAST

    We are six strangers gathered

  • LATE

    The last time my father returned from work

  • Thomas Hardy in the Dorset County Museum

    Turned sideways in a desk chair,

  • Breathing Room

    Not every week,

  • Handel in London, 1741

    Wedged in a chair near the open window,

  • In Memory

    I remember the night my father died
