Here’s a sneak peek at one of the poems from In Defense of Big Dreams:

Play to Your Strengths

Play to your strengths
But play to possibility too
Look it square in the eyes
And say I dare you
I dare you to test me
To be big and scary
And forgetful
To forget that I am
Not done growing
I am at home in bad weather
And fast-changing conditions
In the belief that I don’t yet
Know my limits
I am a fistful of possibility.
