About Me

I am Lou, father, husband, son, lover, a writer, author, and performing poet from the coast and bound by the dreams of reality and reality of dreams. My first book, AWASH WITH WORDS is selling well. My second, "From a Ship Aground," is in pre-production. Whatever the hell that means. I am hoping to do a spoken word CD by the end of this coming summer.I am happy with most of life, even profound changes. Life truly is a circle. I miss my daughter, Emily. My married my beautiful wife Monica on 30 June 2007. I continue to survive and learn a few things the hard way. My life is yet enriched.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You. Writers. Poets. Authors. Performers. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
