Tampa, FL: University of Tampa, (2003) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The author's second collection of poems, winner of the 2003 Tampa Review Prize for Poetry. It "attempts to grapple with questions of beauty, loss, damage, and redemption in the context of multiple landscapes, including the environments of abused and neglected children placed in foster care, the wilderness of the Northern California cast line, and the geography of the poet's own memory." Ruth Schwartz described it as "a stunning book, intimate with tragedy, rich with hard-earned affirmation. Worlds are laid bare, people do terrible things to one another, and the poet's gaze takes in every kind of shattering. Yet there is also a vast tenderness here." INSCRIBED on the title page and dated in winter 2004. Notes. 113 pp. ISBN: 1-879852942.
