Outskirts of the Woods: Poems, Plays, Essays, and a Biography
Have your paradigms ever shifted? This collection illustrates the changes of a spiritual seeker: Vedantic to Christian, Pro-Choice to Pro-Life, and Bohemian to Settled. Bertha's Butter Club, a one-act comedy, jabs at every person who thinks they have the formula to make others lose weight. Dyslexic chronicles my many and long attempts to seek a cure. Other essays compare convicted murderers Susan Atkins and Karla Faye Tucker, and uncover the tragic deaths of two abortive women. Also included is an essay based on a Caroline Gordon short story, my creative writing mentor at the University of Dallas.Out of the Mouths of Babes: This one-act has a 13 year old pro-life debater who greatly loves her dad who performs abortions. The play is followed by Daughter of India, a biography of my aunt, Sanskrit scholar Camille Svensson. At last comes Poetry. One poem can hold a whole universe -- finding love, losing love, reaching for God but touching a dark hole and discovering the true God. This book covers forty years of love, disillusionment, and then finding love again.
