The poems of Beyond the Noisy Membrane identify and celebrate the connections between what's on the everyday roadways we travel and in the vast worlds that encompass us.

They embrace the complex simplicity of the natural world juxtaposed with our human desire for understanding our place in it. They strive to extract and reveal stories from the life-ground we walk on, from the sight of a single kernel of yellow corn or the full moon, expansive in a winter night sky.
