Author's Bio

My work is my world, and vice versa. Strong connection to environmental concerns through the close observation of the natural. Philosophical/spiritual with a quiet and unconventional sense of humor. Biblical & scientific influences. I am an educator in the fullest sense of the term. Genre: hard to peg. Nature poetry? Maybe, provided you agree that human beings are part of nature.
