           Hiker, sailor, poet, teacher, and musician--I live in Chicago and teach at Indiana University Northwest. Some poets who interest me are Alcaeus, Pindar, Theognis, Dante, Bertrand de Born, Sor Juana, Leopardi, Neruda, Whitman, Vallejo, Levertov, Duncan, Porta, and Bernstein. I am also interested in contemporary poetry, especially in the Language Poets. I hold a B.A. in English from the University of Dallas, a M.A. in English from LSU, and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from LSU.

I edit the e-zine moria, which publishes experimental poetry and poetics articles, and I am also the editor-in-chief of Cracked Slab Books, a press dedicated to publishing experimental poetry.

My poetry and translations have been published in small magazines in several countries and are also available in the following e-zines:
