Old Poems

The Old Poems section of this mini-site includes poems written from 2000-2002 and previously published elsewhere on the web. Acknowledgement is given to those publications via hyperlink after the title of each poem. 

Series in Progress

The Series in Progress section of this mini-site includes a developing series of poems written in 2003 on the history and culture of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). I’d welcome any feedback you might have regarding these poems, as they are still under revision.
