Music, Movies, and Books
So many! Most of the books I read are poetry, but I also love fiction and non-fiction as well. Some favorite writers: Yehuda Amichai, Walt Whitman, Mark Doty, Bob Hicok and many more..
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Teaching a 10 year old with Asberger's syndrome how to write and share his poems.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn about the human condition and maybe help teach it a little bit. I want to learn all I can about everyone.
