Breathe: 101 Contemporary Odes
ISBN: 978-0-981501-01-7
“…this timely anthology reminds us of the singular importance of poetry to our lives and our souls. The influence of Horace, Keats, and Neruda is deeply evident in the lyric beauty of these poems, but more than a few defy conventions and challenge the form itself in an exciting expansion of boundaries.

It asks us to examine with words, as carefully as Raphaelle Peale did with his brush, the sources of sustenance, of memory and community that bring food to our lives…” [OUT OF PRINT]
