Touched by the source<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

Welcome. This website is for the side of me that identifies<\/a> with being a poet. That identity  blurs at the edges with other identities: teacher, husband, father, grandpa, cook, gardener, activist, pilgrim, and so on. “What is the calculus of attitude?<\/em>” I ask in “Vespers.<\/a>” The same may be asked for identity<\/a>.<\/p>

Click up above to visit pages where you can find information and links to poetry by me, my friends, and writers I have worked with and admire. Also check out the footer (that thing at the bottom), for a bunch of links to things I like.<\/p>

See the “Upcoming Events<\/a>” page for a list of past and future classes and readings.<\/p>

Ruminations<\/a>” is a blog. Feel free to add to the conversation.<\/p>

Thank you for stopping by.<\/p>
