No Place I Would Rather Be is a collection of free-verse poems and prose poems on the importance of place in the human psyche. Here are places where people come together and places where people can’t be found, places that don’t stay still, where mountains fit inside rooms in houses and husbands hide behind the knees of their wives. Here are places of environmental degradation, war and peace. These poems deal with our coming together and drifting apart in a variety of settings. Despite its moments of anxiety and regret, No Place I Would Rather Be is a celebration of being human in a human environment.

Some of these poems previously appeared in publications such as Meat for Tea and The Bicycle Review.
