Umbras

From the spiritual shadow realms of “Loretta” and “Pronouncing Maria” (where we discover a posthumous Hispanic teen’s Flamenco Rose) to the solemnity of “A Simple Heart” and the prescient, trans humanist Future poem “The Singularity: 5000 A.D.” to the haunting photo-scape epitaph of “Seeing Mussolini’s Mistress” and the profound existential angst of “Code Blue,” this collection reveals a 21st century surgeon-poet’s journey into umbral netherworlds of the human condition.
