Welcome
— to some old and new works collected somewhat randomly in these pages. Thanks for checking in to this new site and please be in touch for questions, comments, and suggestions.
As for the old things, I pulled these books away from their friends on the various shelves and snapped their photos, these teen-agers off to the prom—still wearing their stickies and ragged page markers from readings and thoughts of edits. Never a dull moment in the life of words.
Currently available is The Veiled Sayings: A Personal Response to the Gospel of Thomas. See description below. Cost is $15 plus $3 for shipping within the contiguous U.S. This book is revised and expanded from its first publication. Watch for the green cover (see below). Find it in some book stores or order from the publisher (that would be me) [email protected]. My conversations with Amazon have not been helpful, but that is another (if less dependable) avenue for purchase.
A new fiction project is hoping for a home and is out there looking for one. In the meantime, you will find excerpts on the following pages from the books pictured here, along with verse and prose that promise to float around with me into the years ahead. I’ll meet you in a poem, or an essay, or a story— who knows where.
Best regards, dear reader,
The Veiled Sayings is a non-traditional response to a non-traditional bit of scripture known as The Gospel of Thomas.
Excerpt from the introduction—
This is not a scholarly analysis of the Gospel of Thomas, nor does it lean on historical data or the commentary of other writers. It is a non-academic, intuitive response to the ancient writings. I find that the passages meet us at a place of ageless questioning and connect better to our instincts than to our erudition. The sayings (I am calling them “lessons”) are, at times, jarring and abrupt. The truths in them feel bare and personal, and we may realize that our questions are very old, even as they seem new to us. The reader is likely to have responses that differ from mine, and I imagine those responses will be no less valuable or appropriate.
