Here you’ll find links to some of the poetry I’ve written and published over the years. It’s not my focus, but it has always been important to me. I believe good poetry (particularly traditional forms) to be the most difficult written form. It is something that I’ve always been able to do … a gift I’m thankful for.

KELP QUEEN PRESS published a set of illustrated broadsides of poems I wrote on my last US Navy trip to Europe. These cover cities I visited with my buddy, Gary Markum. I wish I was still in touch with him - I’m in touch with Italy and Crete through these words.
