In the Course of Things

This collection of poetry is a compilation representing for the most part the last thirty years of my life's experiences. A lot of it is based in Nature and human interaction with it. There are also some childhood memories, a few philosophical musings, and some odds and ends. About half of the poems are Haiku, my favorite poetic form.
