I was born on the day Babe Ruth died. Unfortunately he didn't leave his athletic ability to me. I began writing poetry in college for a course project, and have been writing off and on (mostly off) ever since. In the last several years the Muse has whacked me upside the head again and I've been writing fairly regularly.
Major influences....Hmmmm......for poets, certainly no one famous. I like a lot of stuff from contemporary New Hampshire poets, notably Ed Pacht and Skip Manning. For authors, I like Mark Twain, Melinda Selmys, Guy Davenport, Colleen McCullogh and Ma more...
