GRAND CANYON DAYS explores one of the world’s great geological wonders— its past and present, its rock, waters, plants, and animals. The book spans fifty years of the author’s life and reflects both our current national identity and the Canyon’s lingering sense of myth and sacred reverberation from earlier eras. Along the way, we meet such characters as John Wesley Powell, ancient canyon residents, and a couple of ordinary American tourists. Ultimately, these poems take us not merely into a deep place but into deep thoughts about the social, environmental, and spiritual legacy of all canyons. The companion book, SONGS FROM WALNUT CANYON, is also available from Xlibris.

A poetic survey from many perspectives, The Structure of the Body examines the human form, both as an anatomical and physiological system and as a metaphor for other dimensions of our lives. The book explores the bodys evolution, its vast array of organs, its role in our thinking and emotional life, and its complex and profound interface with both birth and death. These poems open a fresh and exciting vista on a familiar yet always mysterious subject.

SEARCHING FOR MR. STEVENS is a quest to understand the art and mind of the brilliant but enigmatic Wallace Stevens. An utterly unique figure in 20th century letters, and possibly the only American poet to have a Friends and Enemies Society named for him, Stevens wrote some of the most haunting verse in the English language— as well as some of the most maddeningly obscure. His paradoxical personal and professional life has come to loom almost as large as his poetic achievement, and this book gives ample attention to all these elements. Any lover of Stevens’ work will find in these poems fresh angles from which to explore this dazzling American Master.

Like William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, these poems evoke childhood moments- from the dream-like states of infancy to the early exhilarations of nature, animals, games, school, sex, and the earliest discoveries of love. Such elusive memories are screened through the double lens of the boy's innocence and the grown man's more complex awareness. In exploring the world of the poet's personal history, First Kingdoms also records and celebrates a type of childhood less and less known to today's digitally-obsessed generations.

SONGS FROM WALNUT CANYON brings the reader into a world of natural beauty, geological wonder, history, and myth. Most of them actually composed in the canyon, these poems are songs of the present that evoke songs past— in the daily lives and music of those who once inhabited the canyon, and in the voices of Crow, the Corn God, Flute Player, and Last Singer. Walnut Canyon is an extraordinary place. This book attempts both to honor that fact and to suggest why it is. The companion book, GRAND CANYON DAYS, is also available from Xlibris.

What is time? That haunting question is pondered by every human being who lives long enough to see its effects at work around them. In this verse novel, the concept of time is explored across many decades in the life of one unfortunate but extraordinary woman. The tale unfolds in a coalmining community in Pennsylvania, a cruelly decisive context for her and everyone involved with her. Time After Time is a powerful record of the most intimate yet mysterious force any of us ever encounters.

Winner of the 2020 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets "Layered, complex, and infinitely compelling, Chet’la Sebree’s Field Study is a daring exploration of the self and our interactions with others—a meditation on desire, race, loss and survival." --Natasha Trethewey, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Memorial Drive Chet’la Sebree’s Field Study is a genre-bending exploration of black womanhood and desire, written as a lyrical, surprisingly humorous, and startlingly vulnerable prose poem I am society’s eraser shards—bits used to fix other people’s sh*t, then discarded. Somehow still a wet nurse, from actual babes to Alabama special elections. Seeking to understand the fallout of her relationship with a white man, the poet Chet’la Sebree attempts a field study of herself. Scientifically, field studies are objective collections of raw data, devoid of emotion. But during the course of a stunning lyric poem, Sebree’s control over her own field study unravels as she attempts to understand the depth of her feelings in response to the data of her life. The result is a singular and provocative piece of writing, one that is formally inventive, playfully candid, and soul-piercingly sharp. Interspersing her reflections with Tweets, quips from TV characters, and excerpts from the Black thinkers—Audre Lorde, Maya Angelou, Tressie McMillan Cottom—that inspire her, Sebree analyzes herself through the lens of a society that seems uneasy, at best, with her very presence. She grapples with her attraction to, and rejection of, whiteness and white men; probes the malicious manifestation of colorism and misogynoir throughout American history and media; and struggles with, judges, and forgives herself when she has more questions than answers. “Even as I accrue these notes,” Sebree writes, “I’m still not sure I’ve found the pulse.” A poem of love, heartbreak, womanhood, art, sex, Blackness, and America—sometimes all at once—Field Study throbs with feeling, searing and tender. With uncommon sensitivity and precise storytelling, Sebree makes meaning out of messiness and malaise, breathing life into a scientific study like no other.
