Miramont Park and Other Poems offers its readers a poetic vision into a small, local park in Fort Collins, Colorado during the changing seasons throughout the corona virus. A corona (no pun intended) of fourteen sonnets unmasks the fears and hopes of the park's daily visitors as they go about their everyday lives: young mothers, children in the playground, budding athletes, an Olympian jumper and elderly couples. The second half of this chapbook, A Slew of Sunday Sonnets, explores such topics as homelessness, celibacy, and a few essential feast days in the liturgical year. The book ends with a longer poem, a somewhat light-hearted look at the nature of writing, itself.
