A Pineapple and an Old Yellow Curtain is a Collection inspired by the Great Lakes, the Great Hawk, the evolution of the earth and the human being's place in the world. The poems are small stories celebrating patient ghosts, expansive geology, small musings on mango, tea and ritual, pain and sorrow, anger and love. In the end, we discover who we are, who we can be and our "kinship" with gardens, oceans, clouds, and a bright guiding moon.
