I was born in Berkley, Calf. but moved to Colorado when I was five. Then my dad found a new job in Kansas, so I went to high school and college in eastern Kansas. After I graduated from Baker University, I got accepted into the MA program in English and Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. I'm living in San Francisco now going to class and working on some more poetry. Writing has always been my passion, but only in the last few years have I really started to intensively write poetry. I guess I've made some strides, but I still have a long ways to go. At Baker, I can have an emphasis on creative writing with my English major. So I think I'm gonna do that, and I'll just keep on writing and keep on keepin on along the avenue (my friend Bob Dylan) .
Every time the bell rings,
I feel the jolt of his
rag doll body flying
on the fringes between
...
searches the outline of her shadow
on a sizzling jungle gym blacktop
where a highway friend
zipped in and out of focus
...
My mother told me to believe in God.
My father told me to believe in whatever I wanted.
My brother told me that it doesn’t matter what
you believe, just as long as you believe in something.
