From Stories of Home to Stories of Homecoming:

An Inquiry Into the Econarratives of Relationship to Habitat

COMING SOON!

Expected late 2026. Adapted from my dissertation, this book examines the inner conflict of tensions in our relationship to the natural world. Through working with the images of our sense of ecogrief (the terracentric, logos) and awe of the Earth and the universe (geocosmological, eros), this book will demonstrate how the integration of the terracentric and geocosmological can lead to a full and healthy expression of the ecological Self.

A Language We Once Knew:

Poems

Thoughts are a scattering

of swirling leaves in the tempest of our mind,

and often there is no room for the words

written on the gentle edge of dreams,

but sometimes, the fierceness of our mystery

opens our soul to songs of ageless truth,

lifting slowly from our silent places -

a language we once knew.
