A boy ends up in a town made cold by winter and stranger by everything else. No one tells him where he is.
He never quite asks.
There are buses that seem to know their routes better than their passengers, faces that refuse to be, and pennies that matter far more than pennies should. Before long, he learns he is expected somewhere—and that getting there will require twenty-nine of them.
The Sound of Pennies Falling and the Places They Go is a novel in verse about the things we carry, the people we recognize, and a town that seems to know exactly who has arrived and where they are going.

Nowaday Later is a book of poems about what won’t let go after the moment dies.
Art dealers, fathers, horses, kitchens, old rooms, bad luck, blood, God, jokes, and a handful of people just trying to make it through their own history without becoming a monument to it.
The poems are odd, crooked, sentimental in places, mean in others. They don’t arrive to explain anything. They show up, light the bed on fire, and lock the door.
Some moments fade. Others spoil with age.
