The Too Tall Kansas (Sidhi) Turtle Tale

About the Book

The Turtle Tale I created driving between my permanent home in Oregon and Med School in Missouri. I don’t actually use drugs as the Tale seems to indicate (F.Y.I.). I have a body of work that is sitting around, so I hit on the idea of an Anthology. I hope this clears my desktop and I can get on with my life. The poetry was something I did as an undergraduate. The prose is more recent. The pics again are undergraduate work. The prose is mostly more recent. I’ve pretty much moved on from poetry to prose. But I have always believed in these poetries. The Hare Krishna pics are ancient history, but there was a time when I liked that sort of thing. I hope I used the word “Sidhi” correctly. It should mean something like “catharsis” or “epiphany”. Again, my Sanskrit is languishing in these latter days.
