I’ve been having fun on Facebook—and figuring my way around on how to use it better. I am also very behind on posting here.
I can’t believe it’s October already, and I have much to catch up on here, which I’ll do over the next couple of weeks. However, here’s a link to a sequence that evolved on Facebook and is also posted on Aubrie Cox’s blog:

I have won three poetry fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, as well as awards from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Mary Carolyn Davies Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America, and the first William O. Douglas Nature Writing Award for my work in the anthology "American Nature Writing 2002."
I was invited to be a "featured poet" and read at the 2010 Dodge Poetry Festival, and was awarded a residency / fellowship for January, 2011, at VCCA (Virginia Center for the Creative Arts."
I live in the South Jersey shore area, and work as a visiting poet in the schools through programs sponsored by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and various other agencies. I'm still fairly new at blogging and hope to add more graphics, etc., as I learn more.
