About Me

My two full-length books are ‘To Phrase a Prayer for Peace’ (Wildhouse Publishing, 2025) and ‘General Release from the Beginning of the World’ (Free Verse Editions, 2023), ‘And Scuttle My Balloon’ (with Flower Conroy, is forthcoming from Pictureshow Press 2025) and my translation from the Dutch of Lucas Hirsch’s ‘Wu Wei Eats an Egg’ is forthcoming from Ben Yehuda Press in August 2025). My chapbooks include ‘Slippery Surfaces’, ‘And Haunt the World’ (with Flower Conroy). and ‘Dear Ghost’ (winner Harbor Review Editor’s prize). My poems appear in Poem-a-day, Alaska Quarterly Review, American Poetry Review, and elsewhere. I'm an emeritus professor, MacDowell fellow, rabbinical school drop-out, and former classical flutist. I get restless.
