The author is a would-be emergent, unpublished and non-credentialed word-worker, from an underrepresented group of one, toiling in the hinterlands of New Mexico, seeking to verify his existence by the elicitation of a ping, hoping to establish a larger audience than that of his dog and the few friends who encourage his ongoing efforts.
Writing is an itch that I take pleasure in scratching. I find inspiration from several interwoven themes, no particular source, but find the work profits from consistent effort and pulling down the shades so as to focus on the strands of thought and juxtaposition of images that cross the threshold of my consciousness with sufficient clarity as to be put to paper for more thorough examination.
