My Philosophy
All my work centers around love. My book of poems about love in its many forms is broken into six sections based on the Greek words for love.

Do You See What I See?
Do You See What I See? is a book about love in its many forms… Love for a parent, a child, animals, friends, earth, lovers, strangers who change your life in 30 seconds… It is comprised of love poems and photos.
The Greeks believed one word could not encompass all that love is. So I’ve taken a page from their ancient playbook and created six sections on these various forms of love:
- Pragma, which means longstanding love
- Philia, which espouses loyalty, friendship, and camaraderie
- Eros, which stands for passion, romance, and intimacy
- Ludus, which encourages playfulness
- Philautia, which is the ever-important self love
- Agape, which is the universal love that lights us up
