About the Book

'Every once and awhile one needs to wrap themselves in forgiveness, and forgetfulness...it's the only way to release the hook, lean into it, no resistance, no pulling away.' From the first poem in Gone Fishing, the poet takes you on a journey where each verse meditates on an aspect of being human, living in the light and letting it go at that. This collection runs the gamut of relationships, spirituality, impermanence, and a romance with life, the poet asking if you believe in happy endings.
