About


    Nine Hours from Oswego is an autobiographical road trip in poetry and prose that begins with imagining my parents' lives before I was born, then moves from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood towards parental decline and my own parenthood. It is a narrative about moments that matter - occasionally funny, often difficult and unplanned. At its core, this is a book that names the hurting, praises the loving, and recognizes the intertwining of both. I do think you're likely to find something familiar and, I hope, meaningful, in this collection.
