Poet’s Statement/Introduction When I look over these six poems, I feel how they share an emotional tone, a directness, a clarity, in speaking of what most people do not. Perhaps it comes from having been a psychologist — or from being someone who found psychology a good fit — but you might as well say that it is the same reason I have worked at writing. I have always noticed what must not be spoken, and so often got in trouble for speaking. Performing psychotherapy requires that you voice these things, as does writing poetry. And everyone hopes for epiphany. ~K. G.-M.
