I write to explore my self, my world, my language. Writing is a way to see the world fresh, to keep our perceptions and our language alive and open to possibilities. I write to discover, not to express. I am currently working on a new collection of poems, a novel about friendship and conspiracy in the 1960s, and a collection of nature essays.
