Biography

i'm starting to publish poems from over a decade ago. hopefully doing this and being among poets online will inspire me to write again after a few years of absence.

i worked as a teacher, community organizer, translator/interpreter, and social worker between then & now. i'm in early retirement and drawing on creative reserves to enjoy what i've started in my youth, which is writing poetry & making art.

if you'd like to publish my poetry in any form, complete or quoted, electronic or printed, please contact me directly. all copyrighted material. i use a pen name. if you'd like to publish my poetry in any form, please contact me directly on this site. thank you.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
