Hello friends!

     I'm an award-winning poet with three published books and another coming out in October, 2024, plus a memoir in progress. Having traveled extensively at home and abroad, I'm particularly drawn to themes of history, culture, environment, the natural world and personal experience. I've established this website to introduce you to myself and my writing, and to talk with you, my readers. Feel free to explore the site and comment as you wish. I look forward to hearing from you.

A Guest in All Your Houses is my paean to the land, cultural crosscurrents and history of the American West.

Rumors of Fallible Gods reflects perceptions and experiences in various countries, especially Mexico, Peru, Greece and Tibet.

Gone to Gold Mountain explores the massacre of over thirty Chinese gold miners by Oregon outlaws in Hells Canyon in 1887.

An Altar of Tides presents an earthy mix of “sweat and stink and chipped wood” and love. This is the song of a life. Peter Ludwin does it right.
