Thrilled to announce my fourth book of poems, All The Signs Were There, is the winner of the Longleaf Press Book Contest and will be published in early 2026! Thank you to judge Roger Weingarten and the staff at Longleaf!

The one and only time my writing went viral. Happy to repost this piece from 2020-- and to lift up kindness and love over cruelty and hate. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

This is starting to make the Saturday night massacre look like a garden party. The people with real responsibility, the AG & the acting AG are lined up with the WH, not the courageous prosecutors standing up for ethics and integrity.
