Poetry

My first collection The Red Glass Cat is out and in the world.  Buy if from me if you can find me.  Buy it from the big Borg online book seller if you mustRead about why you should read it in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Read about how The Red Glass Cat is a Great Summer Read according to Pittsburgh Magazine. Marvel at how The Red Glass Cat has inspired students at Duquesne University and Saint Francis University. I am hoping to have another manuscript together by winter 2022-2023.
