Bio

A Washington-based author, educator, and pushcart nominee for poetry, my works have appeared in many international literary magazines, journals, and anthologies such as The Flatbush Review, Metamorphoses, The Fib Review, Street Lit: Representing The Urban Landscape, The Atherton Review, Bewildering Stories, Stardust Review, and the Scarlet Leaf Review. Additionally, I have written several volumes of poetry, including Edges, Rags & Feathers, Without Wheels, Shadowcat, and Memento Mori: A Chapbook Redux. My first book of fiction, Masques: Flash Fiction & Short Stories, debuted in August 2020. Presently, my sixth collection of poetry, Serpent's Tooth: Poems, is scheduled for publication in 2021.

I couldn't hear the falling snow
yet upon backs of
icy wind
gusts fall
It
did;
each
squall
carried
unique white
flakes barely touching
the ground before disappearing,
leaving apparitions moist, void
of distinction, their
soft airy
voices
seem
to
sing
out
whisper
nonsense words
guardian angels
that send ineffable comfort
