Breaking Out and Other Poems is a collection spanning more than forty years, from the 1970s to the present. Most of the poems proceed from an Imagist sensibility tempered by influences from the visual arts, particularly Abstract Expressionism.
From the Introduction...
"Some of the poems are rendered like a painter slashing color at a canvas, while others are meditative, minimalist, and seemingly detached. Certain poems, usually because of their subject matter, can be tied to particular periods in my life, while others might have been written at any time during the past forty years. At their most personal they are sometimes embarrassingly raw and revealing. But such is the nature of poetry, in which revelation by the writer may elicit a response that, for the reader, may be equally revealing."
