Fingernail Moon: A Coalcracker Looks for Glassboro
"This is how
we come to know
one another:statue by statue;
leaf by leaf;
fragments of ourselves,
gathered and assembled
into quiet initiations
of discovery..."
These poems emerged from a year of quiet, attentive evening walks through the streets of our neighborhood—a reaching out to the Spirit of another place… and a deeply personal encounter with its rhythms, its hesitations, and its unexpected graces. In opening myself to its idiosyncrasies—and offering a few of my own in return—a subtle exchange unfolded: a conversation carried by intuition, silence, and mutual recognition.
What lives in these pages is not a recollection of what was, but a record of what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to welcome—and be welcomed in. Each poem offers a small threshold: an invitation to notice, to soften, to discover the Spirit of a place that has always been there,
waiting for us to acknowledge it.
