I've enjoyed a lifelong relationship with poetry, and a career as a teacher and student of literature and writing. I've tutored Winnebago Indians in Wisconsin, studied Thoreau at Walden Pond, taught in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont,in Pelham and in upstate NY at high schools and colleges,and have served as a Fellow and Institute Director with the Ct. Writing Project. I've been the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and my work has appeared in a variety of journals and anthologies. My chapbook Something Worth Diving For was published by Finishing Line Press in 2012. Though I've been writing poetry for many years, I still don't know when to stop revising!
