bio


art by jared barbick

    "Previously my poetry has appeared in Entelechy International, The Alembic, Phase and Cycle, Inside English, and the anthology Active Voices IV. In 2005 I received a Tomales Bay Fellowship in poetry, and this year I was awarded a Fishtrap Fellowship. I've taught English at Riverside Community College for fourteen years."

   

 

Before Dawn, Tomales Bay

Night wrapped in fog. Blurred trees. My wet footsteps.
An incline ahead.
                                    Something gray, cat-sized
from under a bush . . . across the road
                        into the dark box of landscape.
Leaves rustle, stop. Other life, soundless,
goes on. I tense, try my eyes again
                                        against the night.
