Intimacies is a book of 14 poems and 7 photographs. The poems span decades and speak to private experiences, thoughts unshared even with those about whom the poem may have been written. The photographs date from a period of years of near seclusion during a recovery from severe depression and are a study in the perfection of household things graced by light. The hinge between the poems and the photographs is the poem “Small Graces,” a list poem of “the things that save me.” Quality bathroom hardware. Soft boiled eggs. A desk by a window. The design was done by Patrice Snopkowski of OutWest Design.

The launch for Intimacies was held in Saskatoon on Oct 7, 2022. Only 75 copies of this chapbook were printed.
