Poetry. James DenBoer has selected 35 poems to include in his collection entitled STONEWORK. "James DenBoer is the awake one, and vulnerable to his awakeness. In this physical world he has ties to the comic and to the suffering. He pays tribute, he asks for counsel, and a great spirit is born and sustained. STONEWORK exhibits the bonding of difficult material to lucid expression. What an artistic fulfillment!" -Sandra McPherson.
