About the Book

Hendry's Beach, the setting for this sonnet sequence, lies at the mouth of a creek in Santa Barbara, a branch of which flows behind the house where the poet lived for many years. The sonnets in Running at Hendry's, in a separate volume even though all are in Collected Poems and many in Selected Poems. I couldn't resist giving these deftly crafted verses their own book. Composed extemporaneously after running on the beach, they make up a journal of sorts. Again, the type is larger and the poems have lots of space. Anyone who likes to think while running or walking, or who loves the beach in winter or at sunset, will find much to appreciate here.
