About Me

Pris: South Florida, United States; I didn't start out as a poet. I wanted to be a novelist. I also wanted to sail the Intracoastal Waterway through the Chesapeake Bay to the Vineyard one more time. On September 23, 1990, I woke up with a severe case of what was later to be diagnosed as ME/CFS (known by the demeaning name of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).Finally, this year, 2011, the name was officially changed to ME/CFS. Hooray! As a former Clinical Psychologist, losing my old life was no fun! See the About Me page on my website to learn more about life before.
You'll find my poems in Chiron Review, The Dead Mule, Main Street Rag, PoetsArtist, Nixes Mate, Outlaw Poetry, Red Fez, , Wild Goose Review, In The Fray, Empowerment4Women, haigaonline, frogpond, cattails, archives of Simply Haiku, to name a few. The small press has published eight collections of my poetry.

BOOK AND CHAPBOOK NEWS:

Shadows Trail Them Home, another collaboration with Scott Owens, was released by Clemson University Press in December, 2012.

Ron Moran, author of The Jane Poems and Waiting, and Professor Emeritus at Clemson, says of the book: "Shadows Trail Them Home is an excellent and compelling novel in poetry, an important contribution to the cultural canon of American life, presented in an engaging but disturbing context. It needs to be read by a wide audience, not only those who have faced abuses as children, as the two main characters have, but also by a reading public that treasures poetry that fuses superior writing with major social issues."
Reviews will be out in the near future. I only bought a few copies to sell personally so contact me quickly if you want one signed by me. You can also buy personally from me from paypal at the bellow link:

Otherwise, they're available at Clemson University Digital Press

This counter was installed Sept 8,2005. Before removing Bravenet, visits registered over 9,000 from Feb,2005.

Hit Counter

I'm trying out the below tracking meter beginning 12/14/2005. If it works well, I'll remove the one above. I'm trying to set it wiith the ending value to date of the one above, but am having some problems.
