About Me




“ Liking poems turns into writing poems; writing poems leads to reading more poets…in working on poems and
reworking poems, one becomes a poet . ” Michelle Boisseau.

If I could live off thinking,.. I'd write in the mornings and sun in the afternoons,... so when I get time off for good behavior, I do just that.
You can find my work in The Pittsburgh Quarterly, Poetry Magazine, Firefly Magazine , and other journals.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Maya Angelou, Marge Piercy, Samuel Jones, Adam Duritz, Pablo Neruda (if I'm lucky, the next time around), George Carlin, poets, writers, thinkers, dreamers, anyone who enjoys rollercoasters

The Interment

The giver ceased- While giving- As they took the last flower From the concrete that encased her Along with the photograph of her iris For souvenirs to boost their reputations For being dependable....
