In That Other Life is a collection of poetry by an author who’s life has taken him from the vernal Finger Lakes of upstate New York to the scintillating lights and hectic streets of Manhattan, then on to the huge moons and dusty trails of rural New Mexico. The interplay of these influences is evident in his poetry. Whether of one person or many, the animate or inanimate, rooted in the urban or pastoral, intellectual or emotional, these poems ultimately deal with the human soul's response to life.

Recognizing the worst aspects of humanity, herein also lies a call of faith – that humankind is capable of nobility, charity, and decency. The challenge for this poet was to convey the range of significance in what life is – lovely, banal, and sometimes ugly. Moreover, it becomes increasingly important, in an ever more impersonal world, to convey the gravitas of the positive. In That Other Life attempts to do so.
