Personal Statement:

As such, I’ve pursued a balance between my activities as an educator, an administrator, and a practicing artist endeavoring to see life as an experience to be undertaken with energy and a sense of adventure.

DRONE comprises fourteen poems reflecting upon our humanity as the top primate on the planet. It employs a majority of words in the English language that rhyme with ‘primate’ without using any of them more than once. To increase the sense of a primitive chant the tetrameter cadence is meant to imply the reiteration of a heartbeat. It’s intended these poems be spoken aloud as one continuous chant.
