Gathered Poems, Editorials, Songs & Reflections in no particular order... spanning a range of seasons over 35 years. Many of these have been birthed while walking through parks, down roads and even shopping centres. There is something about the act of walking that is not only good for the body and well-being, but somehow unlocks the connections between synapses and all the variable ways that memory might be held, and creativity generated. This is just a small representation of those things that have found a voice over time. It is not a comprehensive anthology. They have emerged from being: Washed in the Word Dried in desert winds Seasoned with the salt of tears Soaked in the rain of laughter and, Harvested from the ripe fields of the wilderness.

Short stories gleaned from a diversity of Knitting Pattern photographs spanning decades of inspirational and heroic creations and the people who modelled for them. Knitting Patterns offer a unique genre of modelling. Evocative, bizarre and sometimes weird posses have been used to display jumpers, cardigans, dresses, swimsuits and an array of knitted crocheted or macrame accessories. They beg for a back story. Who are these people? Where are they from? What moment of life has been immortalised? What are they doing? Is there a meta-narrative conspiring to capture this precise look through a particular confluence of space and time? If a photo is worth a thousand words then that is what these stories represent... about 1,000 words. These stories will take you to some very surprising, twisted and sometimes very tender places.

What We Remember is the story of some memories as Raleigh made the transformation from a quiet capital city to a significant cultural and governmental center. The beginning of the story is from the perspective of a native son who made his first public appearance as the "Red Feather Boy" marking the success of fund raising for Community Chest through his career as a member of the city council, mayor, and businessman. Smedes York and his family were at the center of the transformation of the city in those vibrant days after the end of World War II when returning soldiers were seeking homes for their families, and businesses were looking for new locations. In response to those demands for housing as well as shopping and business, Smedes's father James Wesley "Willie" York and his father Charles Vance York left evidence of their building and development skills throughout the city and the state. Raleigh: What We Remember attempts to broaden the scope to view the growth and changes in the city as seen from the perspective of Smedes and others who have experienced this transformation.
