CURRENT MISSION

Poetry on the cheap, yo!

ABOUT ME

I am a poet living in Camden, NJ always looking for a reading, a late night conversation, afternoon coffee, lengthy discussions of enjambment, a workshop to lead or participate in, community to build, and experiences to share.

PHILOSOPHY

All of life is a foreign country.

Interests

Poetry, music (guitar, harmonica, mandolin), biking, beer tasting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once skipped a rock nine times across the surface of Lake Michigan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to restring a guitar, change a bike innertube, edit a poem, make a cup of tea, sharpen a pencil, and other cool things.
