Not Hemingway; way too short like bird songs performed for a fish. Not Gabriel Garcia Marquez; too fanciful, too much Cuban cigar. An American in self-exile, writing from his backyard view, considers if atonement is possible, if optimism is realistic. Following years of performing poems, The View form the Ant Hill reflects for his first time in book form, upon the hope that accompanies sharing writing.

Dedication: for the W.S. Merwin Conservancy, Maui, Hawaii
To Merwin the oriole magician
no one writes sentences like you
one and two syllable words intertwined
not Hemingway; way too short like bird songs
performed for a fish
not Gabriel Garcia Marquez; too fanciful,
too much Cuban cigar
Merwin the oriole magician ‘with his own days
echoing in the halls’
All profits from the sale of The View from the Ant Hill will be donated to the W.S. Merwin Conservancy, Maui, Hawaii.

Dum spiro spero – While I breathe, I hope
After the Service
Writing to you in April
Things no one will inherit
In my backyard
The List
I held his ‘you-know-what’
I prayed
The Green Hoptimist
And you hate cats
Rain in Seattle
Who you think you are
No atonement for Rodney
Where I moved-in to you
You fried up
They had a chin wag
Wishes he’d been a writer
I was a morose & cynical young man
Off poetry, you wanted me
In another man’s poem
Poetry and stand-up as entertainment
Chapter 1
Dum spero spiro – While I breathe, I hope
After the Service
for Rudianne
After the service
After the prayers
After the family gathering
