About Me:
 
The poems found here are from my new collection, "Fever Dreams" http://press.crisischronicl...
published by Crisis Chronicles Press, and illustrated by John Tillson.

My writing has been nominated for a Pushcart and Best of the Web (Dzanc) as well as being translated into Arabic, Hebrew, Slovak, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Turkish.

I am also the author of "Signposts to Elsewhere," selected for 'Books of the Year, 2008' by The Independent newspaper (UK) and 'Year in Books, 2007' by The Sun Sentinel (USA).

My latest book, "Trial by Ink: From Nietzsche to Belly Dancing" (2010) is a critically-acclaimed collection of literary and cultural essays, and can be found on Amazon, or electronically from my publisher:
http://thehumanities.cgpubl...

Otherwise, my work appears in such best-selling anthologies as "Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists" and the widely-used US college textbook, "Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing" (10th Edition).

4 short films, by Swoon, based on poems of mine, shown at Festivals: Mountaineer Film (USA), Experimental Film (Kroatia) Visible Verse (Vancouver) and Vimfest (México) all in 2011.

Recently, I was chosen as a Juror for the 2012 Neustadt Prize - a biennial award widely regarded as the most prestigious literary prize after the Nobel Prize in Literature.

I stumbled upon your film Sleepdancing.. I found it very compelling. I really liked the human handkerchief metaphor. Beautiful work and a lovely tribute to your grandfather.
