Long-Distance Romance

Long-Distance Romance is the culmination of my career a a poet. There are poems from my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. My collected works, if you will. The title group of poems tells the story of a love affair that lasted for many years between a teacher and student. The other three sections deal with family, friends, and a history of childhood sexual abuse and mental illness.
