It is daunting, to have a small space to speak about what you have experienced up until this point. Convention threatens with "this is how we go along", but such photopies do nothing more than elicit a few bored blinks. There is not sufficient space here for a complete biography, and I am not convinced that it should matter much.

I do not feel myself bound much to any particular time or eon; what I write is for the marketplace of eternity.

I have written since I could physically write, and my main gig involves writing, to some extent.

My poetry is severe, world-weary, longsuffering, literary, insightful, but not obscure, and not overwrought.

Let me emphasize that last point. There is a line past which intensity collapses into parody or mushy generalities. I am well aware of that and I stay far from that line. If you want overdramatic or meaningless angst, read elsewhere.

My works are imbued with meaning. They are not shallow disposable entertainment, and thus, they are not for everyone. They are for those who think and feel deeply and find their being in the depths of the human experience.

I have no awards or famous names to ply you. My works stand on their own -- or they do not. That is left to your discernment and evaluation.

I write fiction and also create fine art photography. For the latest and greatest, sign up for my newsletter here:
