Elevtions is a collection that grew over the years from the many and vivid thoughts and impressions I have been fortunate to have during four decades living in the Roaring Fork Valley.My poetry is literal, with no intention, or pretense, to obfuscate. The majority of these poems are traditional and conventional, having rhyme and meter. They are clear and understandable. Many are visual. Some are imaginary. Many focus on nature. Others are philosophical and emotional. These poems are offered in the spirit of shared experiences and perceptions with which most readers will find resonance.
