about: Thanks for stopping by! I created this website to serve as a home for my poems already published as well as a launching pad for a possible future collection. We all have stories to tell, and this website represents a step along my journey. No poem may be reproduced in whole or in part without my express written permission.

bio
I grew up on a cattle ranch on the eastern margin of The Everglades in an area that is now suburban Ft. Lauderdale. Having attended boys boarding schools from the second grade through high school likely twisted my psyche; but, I seem to write mostly love poems, so there you go.I moved to Knoxville in 1974 intending to stay a year, and I’ve been here ever since, so it looks like I’m here to stay.I spent a lifetime toiling in commercial real estate management and development until the pandemic retired me kicking and screaming, kindly allowing me to come out of the literary closet. My publishing history extends all the way back to December 2021.
