One long poem threaded with personal, evocative poetry constantly moving. A Zen journey. A journey of love. The Absence of Zen. Becoming Jewish. The Kaddish. Blessings.

Wind.-- Melissa Bell review in VISIONS-International 2001

Excerpt from The Fugitive: Being Memoirs of a Wanderer in Search of a Home However, as a hint to lovers of chronological research, I shall state that in the place where I first saw light, the famous Corsican, in his escape from cold Russia, is said to have changed horses. So, after all, my native town deserves a place in the world's history almost as important as that accorded to Austerlitz.

Excerpt from The Gilead Guards: A Story of War-Times in a New England Town Here was nothing in the rural town of Gil ead on that lovely June Sabbath in 1862 to suggest warfare of any kind. Looking around you might have seen wide corn fields, hill pastures covered with verdure to their very tops, sleepy cows lying beside shaded brooks, lazily chewing their cuds, and long dusty roads lead ing' past quiet farm-houses. Farther away, out lined clearly against the quiet sky, were long spurs of the Green Mountain range, encircling the town and completely shutting it in from the outside world.
