The Strait is unique because it uses concrete images to reflect nature and create metaphors. The Strait is greatly inspired by the cultural and natural histories of the the Pacific Northwest region. The region moves. It moves from seashores to woodlands, and the book is organized to reflect this movement. The content explores sensory experiences gleamed from wildlife, the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, the San Juan Islands, and shoreline Native American culture, before tying these impressions to coastal Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and their folklore. 

Ascent is a collection of poems that explores the world through the eyes of an archaeologist. It discovers the overlooked and ordinary, revealing their hidden secrets and revelations. It shows us how these objects impact our lives. It is a journey from the surface of this world to the heavens above. And it finds all of life's beautiful moments as we make this ascent.

Sound Points crosses North America. The poems move the reader from Puget Sound, to Inland, to Tangier Sound and show us all of life's precious images along the way. It derives metaphors from everything under the clouds and ties them to the human experience.
