Asked what the book Waters of the Recluse is about, the author replied, Simply, the title alludes to the context in which the poems were written. Writing, apparently, is a lonely pursuit. The premise is that these poems were composed in solitude. As a result, the poems are, perhaps, introspective, even when addressed to or involving others [we and our are conventions referring to company]. The poems were written, recited, and now exist in isolation. The presence of water denotes this introspection. Water as an image visits each piece. It predominates as a motif in its various states: rain, ice, seas, lakes, etc. Water is protean, so it informs the relationship the poems have with dreams. These poems, in terms of composition and imagery, strive to capture the characteristics of water: fluency, mutability, and adaptability to whatever form it occupies. The virtues of water are essential to the art/craft of poetry. So reclusion and waterfluidityare the context in which these poems thrive. In that sense, these poems are exploratory.
