His second book \u003cem\u003eIn Defense of Puppets\u003c\/em\u003e explores the way we imagine things when we speak for others or they for us. A recent chapbook \u003cem\u003eFishing for Family\u003c\/em\u003e (also from Kelsay Books) charts the experience of language from infancy to senescence. Now this third book, \u003cem\u003eSecret Offices,\u003c\/em\u003e regards a lifelong search for beauty and grace, a quest in which one never quite knows what one is doing, a realization required for moving ahead.
