A Certain Kind of Forgiveness

Winner of The Birdy Poetry Prize, by Meadowlark-- 2019. "There is a worldliness in these poems, the kind of grit that accompanies a strong heart. There's awareness--of the self, of the world. And the poems are populated with the magical, husky things of this earth: warm beer in Berlin, rice in a bowl in a monastery, and stains from fresh cranberries. These are poems we can savor, now and again." -Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019
