OPEN MEADOWS

OPEN MEADOWS is the first collection of poetry, written between 1985-91. It deals with the relationship between nature and the individual, nature and love, as well as social and environmental issues that were of concern during the Reagan presidency -- and are likely to resurface during the first half of this decade in America (author’s very strong opinion). A print version of the book was first published in 1992 by the Conservatory of American Letters; individual poems within the book appeared in a variety of literary magazines and newsletters between 1990-93.
