As the author's first collection of poems, Borrowed Images explores the depth of grief and the transient nature of life. Many of the poems intersect with the early death of the author's father. Others engage with the mystery and deeper meaning embedded in ordinary life. Still others respond to faith. Each section presents "images" to readers, who will find here the expressions of someone who marvels and meditates on the pain of loss and the reality of living in a world marked by meaning and mystery.
