"Picasso of poetry."
-- Publishers Marketing Association

"A Look Within is one of the best new poetry collections I've read in some time. I had no idea I was in for such lovely work. Your pieces are passionate and still gentle, markedly seductive. Your kindness and decency shine.

I'll be putting the book on our list of recommended purchases for branches (and I'll be buying one myself).

Congratulations--and your students are more fortunate than they may know."
