​Claire’s Journey shares a series of poems telling the story of a young woman suffering from domestic violence. As she starts learning how to think about herself in more positive ways, she grows stronger emotionally and successfully escapes. 

Fragments of Life contains a series of imaginative postcards reflecting the glory of existence. Using tanka art and maxims, a connective pathway is forged between inner vision and outer reality. Readers encounter seasons of weather and human motivation, heated deserts and butterfly meadows, as well as seascapes and holiday celebrations—each of them encouraging a deeper exploration of personal feelings generated along the way.
