Born and raised in NYC, I lived in Austin, Texas for many years (where I received a BA & MLIS from UT-Austin) and currently reside in Raleigh, NC. I’m a librarian and have been writing poetry (on and off) since my early 20s. Several of my poems were published in various anthologies in 2022. I’ve also written short stories and novels–and have published book, film, and music reviews in the 1980-1990s. Most of my recent poems strive to integrate various modern (i.e., post-WWI) techniques and approaches (e.g., Dadaism, surrealism, found poetry, text manipulation, concrete/visual poetry, LANGUAGE poetry, confessional poetry).
