I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm blogging on the Poetic Asides blog.
I try to make it fun and informative.
Personally, my poetry has been published in several online and print publications, including Words Dance, MEAT, Zygote in My Coffee, Denver Syntax, Otoliths, remark., etc.
I've been writing poetry seriously (perhaps, in a seriously bad way) for more than 14 years now. And as with many other male poets, it all started with trying (and sometimes even succeeding) to impress the ladies.
I recently completed the Poetic Asides April PAD Challenge, which is good, because I was running it. ;)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who write, read, distribute, etc., poetry.

Faulty Mindbomb

Something I've been struggling with for a few months now, but I've finally made a decision to halt Faulty Mindbomb going forward. My current schedule and predicted first half of 2007 just is not a goo...
