Short Stories | Longer Stories

My creative non-fiction writing (poetry and prose aside) tends to take two forms: 1) short, self-contained stories, such as Mercurial Dream and Resonance; and 2) longer stories, such as Dreams of Gold and Discovering Logosland, most of which are work-in-progress, hence, I have included the chapters written so far.

Parkbench Perspectives falls somewhere in between - it's chapters can be read as stand-alone pieces, but there is a theme that links them together.

Short Stories

Mercurial Dream - a volatile dream landscape in which the senses dominate

Resonance - a short piece about the artistic experience of a wood sculptor
