Sonnets

Sonnets is my debut poetry collection, the story of a forbidden love told through thirty-three poems.

Tony Riches, author of the Tudor Trilogy, says, "These sonnets bring a relevant, contemporary feel . . . and show what is possible within the constraint of fourteen lines."

ReadingOtherPeople calls it, "Sonic . . . lustrous . . . more effective than a piece of fiction."

And critic Jim Bennett says, "This work, in its best examples . . . encroaches on the quality of Shakespeare and Milton."

About Me

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from William Paterson College and studied under Philip Schultz at the Writers Studio in Manhattan.

I have worked as a newspaper reporter and editor, a magazine contributor, and a content manager at a marketing firm.

Away from writing I have had a dizzying number of careers, including landscaper, gambler, bartender, piano technician, furniture salesman, actor, and massage therapist.
