My publishing history is a little goofy, with a considerable number of works placed in small publications and e-zines, a number of books that have been distributed to independent bookstores, and with an unaccountably enthusiastic response from venues in Prague, and, for some reason, in Miami Beach. I donıt know why about these places. Itıs something that I really canıt explain.

INTIMATE PORTRAITS POEM#4: ANCIENT HISTORY

your old boyfriend
did not read
machiavelli: you did.

he looks stunning
upon a black horse.

he was excellent
in bed.

I took pictures
of the lollipops

in the mouths
of girls mounted
upon horses

behind him,
giggling.

William Wordsworth: All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
