A lot of titles can be attached to me, but I think the title of poet is the most fitting. I've been writing poetry for a number of years now, and my work is constantly evolving. I used to facilitate open mics in several parts of the island, but I have decided to retire and set my sights in other directions. I am still a regular participant in Staten Island's open mic scene and can be found performing at various venues.
I am also a published author. I have been included in literary magazines such as Third Rail, Unquiet Desperation, and Nomad's Choir. However, my proudest accomplishment as a writer was my book, Serotonin Seas. It is a collection of forty poems written over a span of six years. If you purchase Serotonin Seas, some poems I recommend include Calculations, Blood Of The Lamb, Two Words, and of course, Suicide Bomber.
Trails Through The Greenbelt is now available to the masses and can be found on all major online retailers. We are hoping to sell them all over the city. Thank you to all who have contributed work to, dedicated time to producing, and made a commitment to purchasing a copy of this anthology of 48 Staten Island poets, artists, and writers.
I currently work for an organization called Baltic Street AEH, Inc. as a peer bridger. I help inpatients at South Beach Psychiatric Center make an easy transition from being hospitalized to being in the community. It's very rewarding work. It's my personal mission to bring empowerment to consumers, as well as break the stigma of having a mental illness and being in treatment for one.
