About Me:
I am a poet/writer/teacher. I love love love many forms of poetry, lyric narrative prose poems to experimental langpo, vispo, etc. I teach Creative Writing and Composition at a Community College. My fav poets right now are Rae Armentrout--Veil, Ron Silliman--the Chinese Notebook!, Anne Carson, B.H. Fairchild--Art of the Lathe, Li-young Lee--The City In Which I live, but I find new poets every year and for that year I am obsessed with reading everything they write. I think its wonderful to see this kind of website and its community of writers as well as the contribution it represents. Thank you Nate Pritts

fixed my word already on the poem ...actually work in progress...I am not sure ...gargle is the right word either....because that means holding the whatever in your mouth...but gulping it down might work.

Waken Awakening

Shimmer. “Chimera. Cold feet.” Shivering.
a fear that time comes in quickly choking on
the food and garbling down the drink.
Terraphobia: a fear that wide-open land may eat the soles of my feet
forcing me to my knees. Pride: the neck won’t bend.

I avoid the telephone as well as anyone, except the constant ringing in my ears.
Kindness makes me cry. Waves of tears pour out of my neck.
A restless ocean centers the solidity of earth but halls close in with sucking noises.
An imagination looks like fingers waving from a great distance,
Finger-painting everything it sees.

The window opens wide enough to see the sky dripping into the water;
two or three thin bands of a pink & orange chemical burn off
light one end of the blue field and give one gleam of hope.
I am turning into shorter and shorter sentences with the advent of my
in the event of my
with the release of m y
dre
dreams only surface
when I let go.
