Batter Up!

I've been writing poetry since I was 12 — somehow, and I have no idea how, I’m still here, post- Stonewall, the Vietnam war and the AIDS epidemic --- we'll see how I do with the current viral tsunami --- and still writing. And still examining what it means to observe, to record my experience of the world from my evolving, now 71-year-old, queer perspective.

I'm the author of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice in 61 Haiku, and have published articles, book reviews, poems and essays in The New York Observer, Peeking Cat Poetry Magazine, The Gay and Lesbian Review / Worldwide, Down in the Dirt, Rust + Moth, The Good Men Project, Anesthesiology: Journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and Fleas on the Dog.
