The title poem in this volume sets the foreground and timeframe of the other poems - a between time of adult adjustment. The backdrops are often previous events or relationships. Most of these poems attempt an immediate realization through imagery and without back pedaling. Besides the poet experiences, poems include situations of others as a kind of kinship - friends, fellow employees, neighbors, people at eating places, a composer, and even a raccoon. The poems take on the journey to tomorrow.
All but six of the forty-six poems have appeared in journals, as credited at the front.
After Much Has Died Down is published in paperback and as a Kindle book.

In the first section, the poems are mostly about humans against a natural background. The second section concentrates on bird life and its parallels to personality, especially in courtship. It also contains a long poem concerning endangerment. In the final section, poems are inspired from observation and encounters.

Some of the poems in REM Sunshine were triggered by sleep dreams that seemed symbolic and lingered. Other poems came from sights or experiences that remained as unusual as dream in memory. The poems are about relationships, storms, days that surpass others in landscape, a few inspired from reading about Egyptology, and three poems about television. Some are experimental, connecting bursts of vision.
Thirty-three of the fifty poems were published in literary journals.
REM Sunshine is published as a paperback and as a Kindle e-book.
