From the Edge of Chaos and Form takes a glimpse into the lives, imaginings, and interactions of humans, animals, and nature.  The poems offer snapshots of beauty alongside more forbidding realities of our human existence on the planet, both past and present. The poems glimpse literal and metaphorical edges of change in a galaxy of spectacular structure as well as chance and random happenings beyond any human involvement.  But as humans disturb and destroy--in pattern-like behavior--different forms of life, human and natural realms consequently alter.  Beauty and ruin, order and chaos, control and surrender, humanity and cruelty, preservation and annihilation coexist and hold on to one another in a kind of opposition and attraction that has each side becoming like the “other” once a threshold has been crossed in what’s known in part as chaos theory.

​Billy Young’s older brother could die at any moment. Thirteen-year-old Billy must find him.  They haven’t talked since their parents kicked Paul out three years ago.  Billy’s parents disapproved of Paul and now disapprove of Billy.  Billy is not getting the best grades in school for one thing. His parents suspect he’s up to no good.  Billy especially hates his English class except for Jenna, the classmate he secretly has a crush on.  But with his parents not talking about Paul or his exact whereabouts several hundred miles away, Billy makes a run for it across the state line to go find and be with Paul before it’s too late, and before his parents send him to boarding school far away from Jenna, the girl he wants to marry someday.
