His lines quench any poetry lover’s reading as he has a gift with placement, subject and verse. From the poem “The Professor” for Neil Peart “Floating on a grey-dark quiet-loud / wet-warm comfortable cloud / for, they say, the last time.” He captures moments effortlessly like a musical conductor only with poems. These poems vibrate the heart, but stir up the mind and that’s what poetry should do.
