I am happy to announce the publication of my fifth book, "Surrender to Light," just out from Cherry Grove Collections. My fourth book, "My Life as a Doll," was published by Autumn House Press in April '08 and has been nominated for the Lenore Marshall Prize given by the Academy of American Poets. My first three volumes of poems, "Twenty Colors," "Postal Routes" and "Slow Risen Among the Smoke Trees" were brought out by Carnegie Mellon University Press. I also have a chapbook, "The Red Dragon," done by Permafrost.
In addition I have collaborated with many composers, both nationally and internationally. Most notable I set my own lyrics, not a translation, to Robert Schumann's "Dichterleibe," which premiered in Vienna and was recorded at Boston's Jordan Hall featuring soprano Jean Danton and piantist Thomas Stumpf. Now titled "The Dichterliebe in Four Seasons" it is under the Albany Records label as is another CD, "New Dawn," which features a song cycle of my poems set to music by Carson Cooman.
I have taught at prominent universities, most recently, Boston College, where I taught for seventeen years. Currently I live on the water in Kittery Point, ME.

I’m happy to announce that I am now offering a mentorship program called:
WISE EYE: CREATING POETRY THAT SOARS
My intention is to nurture poems and poem manuscripts at all stages and ages by taking a deep look into the heart and spirit of each piece, then contemplate upon the whole here in my home at Sea Cabin Retreat in Kittery Point and then respond fully and wisely to the work in either one-on-one sessions or via written correspondence sent through the mail.
Author of four books of poetry with the latest being My Life as a Doll, which was published by Autumn House Press and nominated for the Lenore Marshall Prize given by the Academy of American Poets, I have extensive teaching experience. I taught for seventeen years at Boston College and prior to that brought poetry into the classrooms of many New Hampshire schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade. I also taught as part of Very Special Arts.
