Woven from many scraps, Noah is half hippie, rocker, country boy, geek, yogi, toddler, puppy. Full poet, all heart, hopeful romantic, he seeks to reach deep through collective human experience to offer raw truth and a wellspring of love. His poems are prayers, whispers, wishes and wisdom. Please sit. Close your eyes and listen. Let the birds in your chest take flight...
