Notes from the NethersphereRetrospective EditionThis is my first book of poetry, which spans over twenty years of my young adult life. It is largely tongue-in-cheek, at times confessional, satirical, lyrical, formal, irreverent, humorous, soul-searching, diabolical... and maybe even inspirational. With the illustrations and heavy stylization, I am pretty sure it offers a unique voice to the modern poetry scene, for what it's worth.

My second book of poetry, compiled in the early 2000s, still searching for the way to express my personal longing for acceptance, love, and something of a deeper identification with the World.

After a super-nano-viral plague reduces the human race to psychotically murderous mutants, resembling a cross between zombies and vampires who hoard food, weapons, valuables, and territory, one such creature realizes his plight but is unable to do anything about it--except to chronicle his story in the psychic record via gemstone-mediated clairvoyance.The outbreak also transforms cats and dogs, and a few other species, stimulating a leap in their intelligence. In the case of cats and dogs, it is also accompanied by structural changes that allow for an upright gait, speech, and manual dexterity. With new-and-improved genetic potential, the cats and dogs vie for dominance. In the throes of a ten-year-long interspecies war, a small group defies the imposed order of things, and two young lovers chance to meet. Meanwhile, as the stricken human watches events unfold, and begins piecing together his former life, a malevolent presence controlling a zompire network invades his psychic space, and they battle on the astral plane.
