January 2015
I'm a teacher at Chapman University in Orange, California. I've also worked as a dramaturg for The Wooden Floor. My poems have appeared in Ploughshares, North American Review and other journals, and I've been nominated for a Best of the Net award for poetry by Lascaux Review. As a grant writer I raised over a million dollars for the social programs of Catholic Charities of the East Bay.

A Dry Clearing
When my father told me during our vacation to Virginia that he and I were to go for a walk, I didn’t understand why. There must be a reason, I thought. What could be the reason? We walked in silence, a silence left open. Memory is all mine there, a clearing. And now I am free and I love his ashes in a distant house as only I can. |
