What, besides protecting the ownership of a domain name, might the function of a personal web page be? Because search engines have introduced me to you, I can use this page to tell you, dear reader and probably total stranger, why I write the way I do and why I live my life the way I do, and to convey my hope you will find something useful here.
I believe in using art to speak for nature. As the child of biologists and spouse of an ecologist, all my life I have appreciated the natural world. I also know that lovely world is under threat from human activities. I feel obliged to do my part to spread words on behalf of the survival of the natural world—and not incidentally our own human survival.
My Fusion Surimono largely deal with verbal and visual images from nature. At DeeriNature I share observations from my rambles outdoors, nature in the slow lane. Here you will find links to free downloadable PDFs for self-guiding nature walks. Most of my POEMS address my appreciation for my relationship with nature. Most of the short FICTION and ESSAYS here are not published elsewhere. My BOOKS are available in print, on paper, through Amazon.
Nature is healing. I know that more personally than many other people might because I had the experience of a near-fatal Traumatic Brain Injury in 1999. My semi-autobiographical novel, The Coast of May, tells that story. The ABOUT page here fills out that story.
I invite you to explore my readings, to get out and enjoy the natural world, to use nature to heal yourself, and in return for that healing, to share in the satisfaction that comes from doing what you can on behalf of mankind and all of life that shares this planet.
