Bio/CV

I am the third generation of patch Hunkies, escaping the coke ovens of Western Pennsylvania and dodging the carnies, junkies and Jesus freaks to pursue a life of poetry and the search for truth and meaning. One day, I hope to teach writing and spread the joy of literature to college students. I am currently pursuing the MFA in poetry and sifting through a big stack of manuscripts that I'm in the process of getting to the right publishers. More to come soon...
