Many of his poems soon declared their independence from that purpose, however. In the last few years, he has revived some of those early poems to add to the many he has recently written, successfully submitting them to publications that welcome formal poetry. His chapbook, \u003cem\u003eIn the Sea of Dreams,\u003c\/em\u003e is available through Gallery of Readers Press. \u003cem\u003eIt’s Hard Enough to Fly\u003c\/em\u003e is his first full-length book of poems. His musical works include chamber, vocal and orchestral music. He has received awards, as a composer, from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. He lives with his wife Anne in Whately, Massachusetts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback: 72 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Kelsay Books (September 13, 2022)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelsay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50210866954497,"sku":"ecm1787304647577","price":15.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1979\/5201\/files\/its-hard-enough-to-fly_1.jpg?v=1787304654","url":"https:\/\/www.juniperavenue.shop\/products\/its-hard-enough-to-fly","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
