Visiting with Renata

Hi folks.

I’m over at Renata Barcelos’ blog talking about writing and Lizzy and all my strange little eccentricities and the best reader experience I’ve ever had.

I had a woman come up to me once after a poetry reading and tell me that a specific poem about my mother’s battle with breast cancer is exactly the way she thought/felt. I was so flattered to know that my words had that effect on her. The universe got a little smaller that day, in a good way.

Come over and say Hello.

As for Renata – here are my Starbursts of Thanks.

And you know I don’t kid about Starbursts.

I live in Brooklyn which is good except when it’s not which is horrid. I’ve been writing for awhile, and have some stuff published and some stuff not. I don’t like when people refer to pets as their children and I can’t resist a handful of cheez-its when offered. I have a burning desire to go to Antarctica, specifically to the South Pole so I can see where Robert Falcon Scott died. I like to read books. I like to write stories and poems. I even wrote some novels. You can read them.
