Pillow Talk (1994) followed The Man who was Marked by Winter which garnered critical and popular acclaim when it was published by The Gallery Press in 1991.

In these more recent poems the public world is pitched against the private in measured interrogations. The 'pillow' of this book's title might suggest poems of intimacy, but the poems themselves subvert such expectation. These are poems of hope and love and loss and courage, everywhere informed by a sense of the care with which we must encode and decode our meanings.
