Love Never Always
ISBN-10 : 0974950211
ISBN-13 : 978-0974950211
These startling poems span the final decade of last century and the first years of the present one. They reveal a strong voice fully attuned to its own time and process. Roberta Loach, editor of Visual Dialog, says “These words are meditative and move to the center of everyday living, loving, being.”
Torphy’s poems, articles, fiction, and critical reviews have appeared in numerous publications. He also works as an art curator.
