Book excerpt: “A Feast for the Senses” and other writings is a collection of mostly short stories, along with a few poems, including prose poems, written over the last decade or so. The title story, based in pre-pandemic (2019) southwestern Oregon, is set primarily in a glass blowing company, one that is adjacent to a brewpub, and it features, among other things, an improvised enactment of an imaginary theatre piece featuring Vincent van Gogh and his good friend Paul Gauguin, along with a few “cameo” appearances by Vincent’s brother Theo. The longest work in the collection is a short story called “The Set,” which explores the building of a movie set based on a rather famous Biblical story. Throughout this collection, the emphasis is on a thick, rich, resonant use of language that brings up multiple meanings and many “things which can’t be said” all that easily.
