Not Quite Poetry is a book of prose, structured poetry and essays describing quantum science, random thoughts on life, friendships and art. Lastly, the words reflect upon a life without the facility of speech taken for granted by most of us.

Sinisteria Begins describes in detail the slow development, over the course of several years, of a large and complex sculptural installation located on the grounds of the Charles E. Burchfield Nature and Art Center in West Seneca, New York. Comprised of hundreds of dead, painted tree branches, the work covers and engulfs a hollow, fourteen-foot-tall metal sculpture. This unique and inviting artificial environment exists in harmony with its natural surroundings, while at the same time referencing invasive species, emotional trauma and even string theory.
