Scatter Me: Poems 1980 to 1989 is Dale's first published book.  Published in 1990, Scatter Me is poetry that explores the inner world of emotion, longing, loss, and joy, as well as the outer worlds of the California desert (Death Valley/Mojave Desert fans will recognize many a place name) and the sea.  The book was an early Mac based desktop publishing effort (and the good offices of one of many Ann Arbor, Michigan printers) by a creative collective called Laughing Coyote Reading Series, with Dale as the founding member.

Roadside Shrine is now able to bring this book back into the world thanks to the kind agreement of the other Coyotes  - Phil and John. Scatter Me was first published prior to the era of internet.  Enjoy!
