Decades ago I taught creative writing, composition, and literature in colleges back East. Came to the West Coast in the late seventies and made my living in the business world. I'm now devoting all my time to writing, researching, and peace and justice volunteer work. Interests: poetry, fiction, distributive and social justice, election reform, history, modern Middle East history, militarism and fascism, political corruption, jazz and classical music. A favorite mantra: "I know what I have given you; I do not know what you have received." --Antonio Porchia (trans. W.S.Merwin)
