The Discipline of Song

This collection brings together forty-five poems that move across a wide range of forms, from the patterned discipline of sonnets and sestinas to the open textures of free and blank verse. It also explores structures such as abecedarians and reverse poetry, allowing each poem to find the shape it requires. Across these shifting forms, the poems attend to memory, attachment, uncertainty, and the subtle rhythms of ordinary experience. They move between inward reflection and outward attention, dwelling in moments where thought and feeling meet without resolution.
