for eighteen years I thought the world was covered in concrete, and the aim of life was to drive up and down woodward avenue in detroit until your car disintegrated and you got a new one. later on, i dropped out of the university of michigan and found myself in san francisco and then, oregon.
i started writing poems in grade school and never stopped. i've published a number of poems, won a poetry prize from Echo magazine in Canada, and while i was living in eugene, oregon, i co-founded and was on the editorial collective that published 10 Point 5: A Magazine of the Arts. we published 7 issues from 1976-78, with interviews with local filmmakers, dancers, the poet robert bly, and the novelist ursula le guin; we later published one of her poems. my poems have appeared in Troubador Anthology, The Goodly Company, Mr. Cogito, Echo, 10 Point 5,
and Uut Poetry. Realtime Babies is my first ePublished collection — basically a digital chapbook.
my writing continued but slowed down in grad school and the years i spent working in human/machine interface design in boston. after earning a Ph. D. in computer science i was a professor at the MIT Media Laboratory. i've worked in industry and academia for nearly 30 years designing and implementing advanced human computer interfaces. i've raised a son and daughter. not long ago i threw everything in a rental truck and returned to the Bay Area, where I'm back exploring the mysterious grottoes, landscapes and oceans we call poetry. sometimes i discover the poem, or it finds me, and i write down what i hear.
hey, i'd especially like to thank kallie falandays for helping me edit Realtime Babies. she's a really cool poet. you can find a bunch of her work if you just search her name on the web. and thanks to the poet and graphic artist
anna kovatcheva for her great work on the beautiful cover text design, layout and color.
