what people say...
“His work offers a unique combination of deep reminiscence and visual information”.
- William Seaton (Poetry on the Loose Reading) -
"Thanks for First You Laugh. It's so difficult, and often impossible to realize art amidst grief, especially of the type and duration of the sort you have suffered. You have come belovedly to face it, and have come away with poetry."
- Ed Sanders, Poet Laureate, Woodstock, New York - |

"Thanks for all this material. I wanted to tell you that I've listened to 'Me and Blue' twice since Saturday--what a lovely, heartbreaking, heartfelt, and fun collection of songs! I'm really glad to have it.
You have a singing voice that I could listen to for hours--engaging, emotional, honest. You've done a great job. Thanks! Now I'll read the poems which I've just printed out."
