Dawn was like a dead blanket of humidity and darkness...so awful that it was silly...I walked in it amazed.---Jack Kerouac, July 13, 1948
Background
Information
I am a simple poet living in the hills of West Virginia. I grew up listening to my mother quote Ogden Nash. Nowadays, I read Jack Kerouac, Robert Frost, and E. E. Cummings. But my biggest influence is the world around me. I love to watch and step into it and get my fingers sticky with its juices.
Birth Place
Morgantown, WV USA
Accomplishments
I have recently published my very first book of poetry. It is called "Midnight Muse in a Convenience Store." A book about thoughts and inspirations that come to a weary author in a gas station in the dark hours before dawn.
