Writing is my passion. I've been writing since childhood. My strategy with poetry has partially been to orient myself in the world by comparing myself and my feelings to some of its natural features, creatures, and its institutions so that I, and hopefully my readers, can see more of the world in ourselves. With my fiction, I'm experimenting with all kinds of genres. I just try not to write flat characters and strive to show the transformational power of relationships.
