Born and bred in New Jersey, I received my cultural infusions from family and New York City, where I’ve enjoyed hundreds of foreign films, as well as dance and theater performances. I love music from J S Bach to Any Winehouse, and I attend a Café Philo every other Thursday in lower Manhattan. Shakespeare is my consolation, writing my hobby.

 |
My poems come out of my personal experience.
For most of 30 years I was a high school science teacher – and loved making it real though projects, experiments, and interaction with the students.
At the same time, I was writing poetry, meeting with other poets regularly, sending out my work, getting mostly rejections—discovering how to listen for discoveries, doorways opening into my life with others and the world, Poems are discoveries that change lives.

| |
I was first published in Highlights for Children when I was just 9. Since then, I wrote a lot of poems, but never submitted them for publication until I was about 40. Since age 40, I’ve been published in Library of Congress, Poets.com and Poetry.com.
After that, I got many poems published on Poets Pen, Poet’s Art, Pancakes in Heaven, Alternative Libraries in New York, and a magazine called “Finding Your Voice on the Page”.
Poetry and writing in general, has been my greatest coping skill in the ups and downs of every day life. I never tried to publish my poetry before age 40 because I never knew other people would enjoy them the way they have told me. I never even shared with friends.
Sharing my poetry now has made my life more meaningful, and now I hope I never stop. Its my way of connecting with others in a positive way.

| |
I live in a family home, on the farm, in the middle of a nature preserve. I really enjoy the woods, trees, fern and flowers, deer, birds and sometimes turkeys and even a fox. It is beautiful here - the quiet and peaceful feelings are helpful with poetry and any writing I do. Right now, I am concentrating on a form poetry (metrics) and some science fiction exercises as well as sonnets and traditional haiku-tanka. I like to publish and I'm pleased with my new books of English with translations into Italian.
Your poem gleams
in the grass...
silver dew
turns little seeds
