I am a freelance writer and former vice president and contest director of the Poetry Society of Indiana. I was raised on Long Island, N.Y. After serving in the Navy, I attended the State University of New York and embarked on a 36-year career in newspapers, the last 19 as bureau chief and senior writer on Guam and Okinawa for Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper for the American military community overseas. In the 1970s I was an editor and publisher of "Old Friends," a small literary magazine in the Washington, D.C. area. On Okinawa, I was a member of the Eat Write Cafe and Traveling Poets Society and frequently read at the group's Open Mic Nights. For a while, I also published an E-zine under the same title. I have been published in numerous poetry magazines and have four books of poetry, "Deadlines Amuse Me," "The Story So Far," "(more)," and "Type Dancing." I am a member of the Last Stanza Poetry Association, a group of poets who meet in Central Indiana, the Poetry Society of Indiana, and the host of Open Mic Poetry Nights in Anderson, Indiana.
