Telephone communication is a prevalent subject in From a Call Box, but the real theme is communication between people. Calls for help, calls for information, calls for love, calls of desperation. In the author's words, "We transfer vast amounts of information via these technologies, as well as the huge range of human emotions. We are not always successful in our attempt to get both emotion and information across to the person on the other end of the telephone line." From a Call Box is an exploration of people's funny, poignant, sad, sometimes tragic attempts to make connections.

Focusing on intensely personal experiences, Optics shows vision as a trick of light. We see through a glass barrier we've placed between ourselves and our world, often filtered by the warps and swirls caught in that glass. We stand behind a window that is growing dark in early winter, not even noticing the creeping darkness across the glass blocking our vision. The poems explore the world reflected back by a simple piece of glass.

Things that Matter Now examines how reactions to persons and events change with age; how memories lose their power to control; how there is choice in those things one reacts to: in short, the things that matter now.
