Here I am. A poet, painter, used/rare bookdealer. freelance writer/editor, part-time parent of two extraordinary girls, 10 and 12) is a snapshot depiction. I am irreverant, intlelligent, full caffeinated, smoke free, unfailingly in the midst of my life, moving and enjoying it (for the most part.) I'm smart in intuitive ways and the more typical ones, dense enough for light to bend around in others. (Mechanical things, for one.) I'm a joyous friend, a relunctant romantic, sensual, compassionate, passionate, introverted, friendly in a shy way, generous, genuine and horrible at describing myself.
