The Prophecy of Merlin, and Other Poems

A varied collection of lyrical and narrative poems that moves between reimagined legendary and classical episodes and intimate meditations on nature, memory, and public life. Longer pieces dramatize Arthurian and mythic scenes and retell biblical and classical stories, while shorter lyrics dwell on seasons, mourning, love, and patriotic or commemorative occasions. The poems balance romantic dramatization with elegiac reflection and moral or devotional address, employing rhetorical cadence and vivid imagery to explore loss, longing, heroism, and the consolations of art and faith.
