About Me

I have written almost daily for 45 years and published a book series called Psalms of Fern, in two volumes: Little Whittlings of Soul and Time Travelers. My poetry has appeared in regional and national literary magazines including The Watershed Journal, The Bridge Literary Arts Journal, Clarion University’s Tobeco Literary Journal, Adelaide Literary Journal and The Pennsylvania Poetry Society’s PENNESSENCE. I present at workshops, participate in poetry readings, write blogs for online literary journals and performed at art festivals as a street poet. My work has been published in Dark Horse Appalachia, The Indiana Gazette and North/South Appalachia. My next project is a fusion of poetry, memoir and fiction inspired by growing up in a Northwestern Pennsylvania coal town.
