New poems from the author of "Lucid Waking".
Necropole is a book-length poem on the relationship between prophetic and social loneliness. Prophetic loneliness is the loneliness of one who sets him or herself outside society in order to view it more clearly. Social loneliness on the other hand is a form of suffering that, given humankind's essential connectedness, borders on spiritual death. Necropole is an examination, in poetry, into whether prophetic loneliness does or does not also lead to spiritual death--and if not, why not. The poem is illustrated by the artwork of Alison Chase Radcliffe.
Heaven isn't the reward Darius McPherson expected it to be. For one thing, he's too young to be there. And now the Archangel Aaron and the Board of Director angels are telling him he has to return to earth to save humanity from itself and an army of renegade angels. He's not exactly in the mood after losing everyone he loves, including the lovely Rebecca, the soul mate he was about to marry before he was killed in a drive-by shooting. No one seems to care that Junior Operative Darius McPherson is woefully short of adequate training and skills for the difficult task ahead of him. The Archangel keeps assuring him he's the man for the mission, while Darius wonders where the more experienced Senior Operatives have gone. As his mission briefing draws to a close, the Archangel calmly announces that Darius has three days to defuse what his superiors refer to as "The Big Emergency," a budding cataclysm that threatens the orderly evolution of consciousness itself. Reluctantly, Darius accepts his assignment. Immediately after the Hyperspace Conveyor Tube deposits Darius in a run down section of Miami, Florida, Darius meets the first member of his mortal task force: seventeen-year old Javon Quincy, a street hustler on the run from a botched robbery attempt.
The year is 2038. Earth's biosphere is on the brink of destruction from the effects of global warming and pollution. The World Energy Council has awarded a lucrative contract to a major US corporation to mine a precious ore discovered by the first manned mission to land on Mars.

Katie and Brian Eames and their friend Reme spend their summer vacation exploring the fields and woods outside their little town, Misty Haven. Each day, they gather for ice-cold lemonade at the neighborhood pub and restaurant, The Dragon and The Rose, run by Mr. Amos Teagarden, who tells the children a legend from 10th-century Wales: There were two princes, stepbrothers named Vrolich and Rouge, who had become known as the Dragon and the Rose. The younger brother, the Rose, was an evil sorcerer who turned the Dragon's wife into a pillar of stone, and then transformed Vrolich into a real dragon. The Dragon departed Britain, flying westward over the sea, vanquished and heartbroken. In their adventurous explorations, and at nearly the cost of their lives, Katie, Brian, and Reme discover a secret cave and a sleeping dragon...the Dragon. Speaking in his ancient tongue, with Reme translating from Latin, the Dragon assures them of his royal lineage and good intentions. Together, the three children and the Dragon devise a plan to defeat the evil Rose.The children, with their sometime captor Doris, and Mr. Teagarden fly on the back of the Dragon across the ocean to Wales, where they are met by Mr. Teagarden's relatives, who vow to help the young heroes. Far away from home, they are sure to encounter the forces of the Rose, severe danger, and a great battle as they struggle to set right an ancient wrong.
