  Poet

  I am a poet, though nots-a-wholatta-folks know it. I have fun with words, when words are not torturing me. I write poems when they are not writing me. I've been to many conferences and seminars with awesome poet voices/mentors: Major Jackson, Annie Finch, Robert Frost, Patricia Fargnoli, and many more.
