And the Thank You's go to...

There are many people that have helped shape my poetic talents.

I would like to thank Mrs. Howell, my High School English teacher, for taking time out to go over my poems and teach me form and structure.

I would like to thank the magazine Writers Digest, for the tips in the Poetry Section. They helped me hone my craft.

I would like to thank the writer, Ursula K. Le Guin for being a constant example of how to just be a writer.

And Ray Bradbury for offering the advice "Just write."

Other kudos go to: Kacey Davis; a wonderful musician, and ex-lover. Nadine Welch for taking me to my second ever public reading, and giving direction on how to present my material.

The Het Patrol, and Marty Holden; for helping to shape the vision of Video Poetry by putting a camera in my face.
And countless other influences in my life.

I would like to thank my Partner for her infinite patience, as i dedicate hours of my life to poetry, and building this website.

I would especially like to thank my mother; who listened patiently to my early work while encouraging me to find a Real career. Her art and her life helped shape mine.
