Poetry

I like to experiment with form and, inspired by the oulipians, construct the labyrinth from which I plan to escape.  One of the forms that I developed is where I use the same words in different parts of the poem to tell different stories.  The poems "Engineered to move the human spirit" and "Ma and her sisters (a triptych)" are examples of this "broken mirror" technique.
