an occasional author of poetic prose, i lately
spend more time getting out and having experiences
in my native /adopted philadelphia. my latest work
bristles with a sense of place. i’m a closet cartographer,
dreaming of maps and strange elevations,
the interstices between the said and the unsaid,
the antipodes of connection and alienation.
i don’t write often, but i favour haiku:
terse, impassive diction. a subtractive method of writing.
a sometime painter as well, i’ve displayed my work
in five philadelphia galleries and spend my workaday
answering phones
and sketching traffic lights.
