An incessant traveler, he has lived and worked in such disparate places as the United States, CentralEurope, the Galapagos, China, the Middle East, and Kazakhstan.His visual poetry and writing has appeared in such journals as E•ratio, Diagram, VLAK, Moria, Drunken Boat, Shampoo, Otoliths, Van Gogh’s Ear, Noon: Journal of the Short Poem, Moria, Kabita Pakshik (translations into Bengali by poet and translator Subhashis Gangopadhyay), and others – and in The Last Vispo Anthology: 1998-2008 and The Return of Kral Majales: Prague's International Literary Renaissance 1990-2010. "Letters to a Younger Poet," correspondences with the late Robert Creeley, appears in Jacket #31.Additionally, his visual poems have been exhibited internationally, and most notably at the 2011 Text Festival in Bury, UK. He was a Pushcart Prize nominee in 2008.

 

Reaching inward and onward for more able methods with which to express the purview of a life marked by constant travel, I bind cosmopolitan themes in what is a carefully measured mix. There are attempts at acuity, the challenge of density, and the presence of what Robert Creeley described as “tacit violence.”In my work, I look to better understand all that I consciously and unconsciously filter. Poetry, for me, in all its manifestations, is about constant assessment of what has been surveyed. I am terribly interested, and this holds true regardless of whether I am creating visual art or completing a piece of writing, in exposing the antecedents to real things.With regards to vis/po, there are two things that I want most for readers to understand: first, my pieces combine aspects of both the analogue and digital, which makes them hybrid; and second, my pieces are not simply examples of design; rather, each work represents, in terms of intentionality, extreme prejudice.
