Nominated for the Pushcart Prize, he has extensive poetry honors and awards. meta4laverne@aol.com About the Book Advanced Dancing presents the world as the source for the myriad performances of a lifetime, with all the nuance and reality of becomings, of acting out, of the rhythmic realities of life, of the nature of things animate and inanimate, commingled, brought into critical focus, set in motion toward a resolution we might be inclined to regard as climax, as closure. Such dancing contains, as one might imagine, multiple contexts and circumstances, a plenitude for the miracle of memory to embrace. This is a volume laced with exuberances, those of nature as well as those of the human heart, dancesconfiguring a range of hopes for the future. Scattered throughout are poems of recurring patterns that have unlocked the rhythms of progress, choreographing action and thought, past and present, patterns of passion and of art.
