Bio:

I write poetry and essays. I am working on a memoir. I have a BA in Secondary Education-English, an MA in Liberal Studies, and I am always in the process of accumulating various credits. I also have a random degree in visual arts. I want to find warmth in the cold world, beauty in horror. I search out images and shape them in an archetypal mold. I revel in the traditional form and take risks in experimental visions. Visual art is my forever muse, and I never tire of writing about the magic and power of art. I have a blog for my prose and photographs. I occasionally post audio versions of my poems because I feel strongly about the self as conduit. My poems are as much a part of me as my skin, scars and all.
