I live in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, retired from a University teaching job in Minnesota. My poems have appeared widely, mostly online, in journals based in the U.S. and abroad. Several have been nominated for the Pushcart and Best of the Net. I have published thirteen poetry collections, the most recent of which are A Landscape in Hell, Why Glass Shatters, and o filho da bebedora de cafe (The Coffee Drinker’s Son), translated into Portuguese by Francisco Jose Craveiro de Carvalho.
