Hello All. My second book of poems was released by Yorkshire Publishing. The collection titled Complexions of Being provides a poetry sample written from 2019 to 2022.

Over several decades, my poems were published in numerous small-press journals. Through Black Buzzard Press, I published my first chapbook of poems, Native Steel, in 1982. I have also written and published short fiction. Over the years, my stories have appeared in The Lake Superior Review, Intuitive Explorations, Baltimore's Lite Literary Magazine, and Alien Skin. Feel free to contact me if you would like further information. Thanks!
