Earning degrees in creative writing, I taught composition for six years, and crime seeped into my poetry such that Anthony Rainone mentioned me in his Spring 2007 Mystery Scene article, "Raven in a Trenchcoat: Hardboiled & Noir Poetry".
Shortly after co-publishing The Lineup annual chapbooks 2008–11, I created The Five-Two to debut new crime poetry on the Web each week, collecting fifty-two each year, almost twice as many as a volume of The Lineup could hold.
Each Five-Two poem has a companion video. For poets unable to record, videos are volunteered by me or other Voices of The Five-Two.
Also feel free to keep up with me on my book review blog So Much to Talk About or my personal blog Very Much So.
