I HAVEN'T WRITTEN A LOT of poetry lately, because I found
that I can often get the same fix from writing fiction. However, I used to write a lot of it, so I decided
to post a bibliography and links to some of it here. I plan to post more
and will of course keep you updated about new publications.
On the bottom of this page is a link to some of my sex poetry on a separate page.
But first, a list of my poetry that's been published and/or read in public. Within that, you'll
see links (titles in blue) to some of those poems that'll open new windows. I hope you enjoy them!
Poetry collection:
Pictures from a Trip
Fall 1990. My first poetry collection, literally word-drawings

spray-painted covers and pen illuminations (I had a lot of fun putting it
together for friends and family). I still have about 20 copies; if you want one, let me know!
