Notes on the Road to Now

Notes on the Road to Now is composed of sixty-six related poems (twenty have appeared in journals, reviews, and anthologies), which provide a fascinating look at the progression from the cocksureness of youth to the reasoned inquiry of experienced maturity. In addition, the poems create a background story of a long-term relationship that accepts, endures, and to some degree overcomes the challenges that love and time offer. Through a variety of people, places, and experiences Notes on the Road to Now leads the narrator (and ideally the reader as well) on a journey from "I was so much older then" to "I'm younger than that now."
