Publisher's Synopsis
Native Language is a book of sonnets. The poems tend to settle into the mind easily, with some grace and usually some mystery. The topics are from life, of course - human life, its issues and puzzles. Most readers will find some or several poems that speak to them; we are so much alike, really. The natural world is the backdrop and always a powerful presence. Still, it is the human world we live in. The author was trained as a philosopher but became a CPA to earn a living and this odd combination perhaps offers a useful way to read the poems.
