Endings are upon us. A young woman dearly loved died October 8. A cavehouse in the Pyrenees began demolition today. The angry poodle next door, after 14 years of relentless yapping, is dying. Twelve false apostles and their leader emerged from the woods. The Earth has lost her virginity. Sources of income are ruined by the fall of the moneygods.
Home, hearth, community are evaporating. Clutching fear hardens the human heart. Grasping fear reaches for a disintegrating politics. Dreams dissolve. Prophecies— powerless and unredeeming—cease.
Behind a curtain unknown,
Invisible, unready,
A beginning waits.

It is september, 2001 in the French countryside. The blind herdsman Josef has just passed away. From his strange landing place, he peers down to the Pyrenean valley below. We meet the friends and neighbors he has left behind, including the foreigner Helene. Through visions and dreams Josef begins to communicate with Helene. They hold the ancient information that will eventually help them remember where they came from, who they are, and how they can return home. Their story takes us to the same valley 2000 years ago, to prehistoric Ireland and from France in the 1930’s to present day. Marianne Press, 350 pages. 2007
This epic poem is a personal odyssey framed by the poet's life in the French Pyrenees, New England, and Ireland - spanning ten years. It is an exploration of a feminine soul's transformation across time. Alternating between free verse and couplet rhyme, this intimate story will stimulate the inner journeys of both men and women - singing through the recesses of human struggle to the birth of new meaning for the individual and, therefore, the world. Marianne Press, 100 pages. 2002
