Season Tickets is a collection of three prize-winning stories and twenty-six narrative poems arranged in three parts to tell the story of a life. "Okies" is the story of a boy's relationship with his illiterate father. In "The Student," a young man putting himself through college by working as a night minister in a wedding chapel reflects on his future when, in the middle of his ceremony, a bride he is attracted to has a seizure and the groom flees. "Seabreeze," set in a convalescent hospital, explores love and commitment when a man is challenged by stroke-induced darkness. Steve Kowit, author of In the Palm of Your Hand, describes the poems in this collection as "crisp, lucid & altogether believable--sometimes hilarious, sometimes chancy and transgressive, often deeply touching." Poems in the first section explore the lesson a boy learns in a group shower, the eroticism of a bowling ball, a mother's religious outrage when the father buys the family's first TV, and a boy's love for a third grade teacher. Poems in the middle section deal with the brittleness of relationships, ineptitude with finding new love, the philosophy of quitting, and fear of ex-wives. The final section celebrates the wisp of understanding that comes with age and praises reference librarians, sushi, a punch in the mouth, gravity, and Friends of the Library sales.

Digging with My Hands not only examines how cavalierly our species menaces a fragile earth, but also opens the complex pathways of our own bio-psycho-social being as we confront the "relentless carnage" of the aging process. Though there is often stark terror on center stage, the poems do not rant against mortality; they simply embrace something comic, or lovely, or peculiar, or radiant entering from the "Cobble the day together as best you can-" (we are told) "with sunlight and a breeze that sweeps / a mist off the rising tide, / with gulls that fly in / and carry everything away."

Kaleidoscope is an anthology of nineteen winning stories from a yearly contest at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. The competition, sponsored by the Martindale Educational Foundation, awards an annual prize of $1000. As Mr. Robert C. Martindale explained in 1987 at the first meeting to discuss this competition, his foundation was offering a substantial award, and he therefore expected substantial stories. The judge for each year's competition is a well-known fiction writer, and all of the judges have commented on the unusually high quality of the work submitted. Several of the authors appearing in Kaleidoscope have had short story collections or novels published, while the work of others has appeared in serious literary journals, some publications containing the stories from this anthology.
