At the End of Day published in 2007 by Traprock Books.




​
​"These poems are like a sip of spring water on a hot day, clear and refreshing. Applegate has a gift for distilling a moment to its essence, for choosing one precise image that conveys more than a hundred could."
         Sue Fagalde Lick, Author of Azorean Dreams and Shoes Full Of Sand 



Sample Poem from At the End of Day


​BLUE IRIS 
​
On a small white canvas
​an artist is sketching
a Japanese flower
 
which seems, at first glance,
an abstraction, the

idea of a flower
and not the thing itself.
 
Then you notice
how the brush
imagines the petal, how
ink roots the stem.
 
And now the canvas
is a page, the page
a white field
stitched in the middle
by Shushiki’s haiku   
 
         
Dead my old fine hopes
          and dry my dreaming but still…
          iris, blue each spring
