What moves you, makes you.

Gregory When He Sits censures privileged complacency and pridefulness. He Has Feigned Since I Sat conveys a gecko's compassion for the protagonist's ache. Sight-Worn scrutinizes existential tension in love, work, imagination, family, and faith. Your Window on the World echoes the "Only Connect" theme in E.M. Forster's Howards End.

The 32 poems in this collection were culled from Dreams Powwow, Love in Small Doses, and Rubik's Cube, three unpublished volumes: guess which each poem belongs to.
