The poems in Chamber of Wonders explore the mainstays of lyric poetry: memory, dream, the creative process, the human being as an aspirational animal. Musical and playful, inquiring and celebratory, each poem has chosen its own form and speaks with its unique voice. This is a book that invites nods of recognition and pleasure. It is the work of a writer who insists quietly that you pay very good attention to nuance and the rich lives of words as they unfold on the page. At the same time, the poems offer you a world where everyday experience is occasion for wonder.
