Outside The Lines

Outside the Lines consists of poems exploring possibilities of final meanings in life such as: individuality and the power of the human soul to transcend familial, institutional and societal demands and expectations; faith; interfaith; ideals and the intrinsic value of artistic processes and ends. Much of the content stems from the author's own experiences, particularly with people -- their lives and works - that have influenced his development as writer, artist, teacher and human being. Outside the Line is the author s first published book of poetry. His play Sword Against the Sea, an adaptation of William Butler Yeats Cuchulain plays and poems, was published by Samuel French. He also wrote an American theater history book, titled The Simple Stage, published by Greenwood Press. His play Coming to See Aunt Sophie, about Polish Holocaust hero Jan Karski, has toured to Germany, Poland, Australia and to various venues in the United States and has been translated into Polish and Hungarian. The author now resides in New Mexico.
