About the Book
My book Ambrosia is a chapbook of prose poems. It snakes through the life of a prophet in the body of a Dominican boy. From years, drudging through disparate adolescence and the final death blow of fame. If the flute playing Pan knew another life, perhaps it would be representative of these small nuanced narratives.
