What Cannot Stay Small Forever

<p>This is a frieze-like collection of roughly chronological poems exploring memories of a broad range of childhood experiences up to about the age of 11. The memories range from the traumatic to sublime moments of solitary elation and realization.</p><p>Around 2010 I went through a significantly challenging period during which I made a trip to locations where I lived as a child in the Pacific Northwest mainly Spokane Washington and I began exploring childhood memories some of which were difficult to face. Most of these poems were written over a few weeks during and after that trip.  </p>
