I am a native San Franciscan poet who lived and worked in Kyoto and Kobe, Japan for ten years as an English teacher. Two of my poems were recently posted on ChelseaStationmagazine.com. I earned a B.A. and an M.A in English a lifetime ago from a small liberal arts college in California then known as College of Notre Dame atop a hill full of Eucalyptus trees and teeming with wild deer. I enjoy nature walks at the local parks and along nearby Ocean Beach. I devour Netflix movies in my free time. I still have a healthy reading habit that includes the Classics.
