Stephen F. Austin State University Press, 2014 - Poetry - 79 pages

In Sheep Can Recognize Individual Human Faces, the poet confronts questions of mortality in meditative poems that revolve around people in his life that he has known and loved.

"I wrote this book for the same reason that I do any writing--to attempt, however haltingly and feebly, to find a connection to the stuff of life, to be more energized, to be more in contact with the world, to understand the world and my purpose in it."--from the author
