I am mostly a poet, but also a writer of stories and non-fiction upon occasion. I was a teacher of literature and writing, but currently spend my time immersed in reading, writing, exploring the natural world, entering the political fray when the stakes get high, among other things. My first chapbook came out last year (Finishing Line Press), and I've had some poems and essays published in small journals and in the N.Y. Times. I'm somewhat involved with local (Albany-area) writing groups and occasionally participate in their readings. Currently, I'm taking an online sonnet workshop with Molly Peacock (who's one of several wonderful poets I've studied with over the years).
