Bio: 

After 18 years at the helm of the creative writing program at The University of Findlay, which included a prison writing program and courses on E-Poetry, I returned to my home after 40 years away, where I continue to write and publish poetry and prose. Additionally, I have edited a tribute anthology on Russell Atkins, "In the Company of Russell Atkins" (Red Giant Books, 2016). I curate a Cuyahoga County Public Library weblog that features 30 poets each year, "Read + Write: 30 Days of Poetry," and I am a visiting poet in my county's arts in public places program (SmARTS).
