On an oasis of secluded beach consisting of tunneled sea grape and breezy Australian Pine, Currents was composed in 2001 during calming retreats of sunshine and blue green salt water in the keys of vigor and youth. The style and nature of the book per-mutate sporadically or swirl together from poem to poem as the ebb and flow of Currents and all the title implies. Furthering the dualistic themes of Aflame (1998) and Falling Leaves Observation (1999)- Currents fluctuates between confessional catharsis and inspired ablution. The structure has been moderately adapted with the inclusion of relevant pictures, titles for each piece and sparse reformatting throughout to aid in this edition's fluency and permeation.
