 About Me

 

I’m a poet and novelist living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.   Have a background in critical studies, particularly of African-American poets.  Besides seven books of poetry, my work includes a fiction trilogy, short stories, essays, and a musical drama.  I find inspiration in my neighborhood, politics, art, and nature.  I call the street “my Muse.”
