under a gunmetal sky

Author's Note: This collection is a sampler, that is, the poems are all to be found in other books of mine. I felt my selected poems 1968 - 2022 was just too long, hence expensive, for many readers, but a book of 101 poems based on Japanese aesthetics with a section of 20 western-styled poems might be a more realistic way of reaching new readers and something more portable for old friends of my work.
