I have been writing poetry since the late 1970s but have only tried to publish my work in the last few years, with some modest success. My poems have been published in more than two dozen journals and I have published three full-length collections and one chapbook. Follow the title links below to learn more about these books, and scroll down to learn my approach to writing poetry.
