Reveille: Poems

The verse collected in Reveille: Poems centers on a series of morning songs addressed to a “you” on the cusp of waking. That dramatic context allows the work to investigate the border territory between active and passive imagination as well as that place where the temporal meets the eternal. Notions of baptism and immolation are of prime concern in these poems as they represent experiences in which individuals are figuratively “woken” or “transformed.”
