Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write poems to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward.

You will have created something.

-Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

New Book

Take a different kind of trip with this poetry book. Or, if you’re curious why I’d write a book like this, maybe check out my blog post over yonder

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.
— Allen Ginsberg

Finally, Now All my Words Are in One Place

In 2012, when I began wandering around in the world, I left trails of words all over the web. A poetry nomad I was, surfing couches in countries and counties in bunches, but also traversing digital surfs from site to site as well. 

But now, the time has come to rhyme and run in one square space for a while. 

 
 

Through poetry books, stickers or coffee mugs, discover all the ways to bring my poetry into your home.

Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
— Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
— Carl Sandburg
Whether I am a poet or not, I use fifty dollars’ worth
of air every day, cool.
In order to exist I hide behind stacks of red and blue poems
And open little sensuous parasols, stinging the nail-in-
The foot-song, drinking cool beatitudes.
— Bob Kaufman
