The poet's statement:
Of the 64 poems in my first book of poetry,
Don't Complain That There's No Sauerkraut,
eleven had been previously published. In
response to my impatience to go to press
with this second book before achieving
at least that level of validation, my wife
counselled, "Maybe it's too early."
