About

I am the author of Eighth Habitation and other poetry books, plus a few non-fiction pieces, the odd academic article, and reviews. Now I'm teaching Creative Writing in Hawai'i.

One begins to write about a country before one gets there. Isn't that the way it has always been?

A quote by Eileen Myles


Eileen Myles:
Most likely we travel to exist in an analogue to our life’s dilemmas. It’s like a spaceship. The work for the traveler is making the effort to understand that the place you are moving through is real and the solution to your increasingly absent problems is forgetting. To see them in a burst as you are vanishing into the world. Travel is not transcendence. It’s immanence. It’s trying to be here.
