February 9 – Family Photographs
We gather and sing from the hymnal
With acetate pages
Reciting the chronology and genealogy
Of saints and sinners.
Viewing stained glass soliloquies;
Homilies of suburban worship
And holy celebration
Before returning it to the shelf
A Requiem for the Living
(Note: Yes, that is me in the photo. It’s from my 21st birthday, seventeen years ago)
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
