Six Feet of Poetry

I’m the author of four novels, including one which was a National Indie Excellence Book Award finalist (On Air, Mustang Press, 2011), two collections of poetry and short fiction, and a writing guide. A four-time Pushcart Prize nominee, I’ve been published in Word Riot, 63 Channels, Antithesis Common, Poor Richard’s Almanac(k), Blink-Ink, Pig in a Poke, Chick Flicks, Up the Staircase, Shoots and Vines, and many others. Since 2004 I’ve been Acquisitions Editor for Big Table Publishing Company, Senior Editor of Boston Literary Magazine since 2009, and I was Director of the Newton Writing and Publishing Center until I moved from Boston to San Francisco in 2018. Now I lead the popular “Six Feet of Poetry” and “Fiction by the Foot” series.
