The poems in View From A Hillside are selected from those written by the author over the last several years. Some are poems written for a fund-raising event for the Organization for New Americans, a community-based organization that provides education and assistance for new immigrants and refugees when they arrive in this great country. That need is as great now as it ever has been in the past.

The reader will note that the author still has an affinity for the shorter forms of poetry, inspired by the Japanese haiku and tanka forms. However, sometimes a longer poem seems more appropriate.

Men of War
for some
there is no war
unloved
but they do not send
their own sons
Emily of Amherst
she quivers on edge
a dancing ghost, transparent;
bound in enigma
