Behind Bite [excerpts]
Bite, the title of this manuscript, represents my outlook on the genre of poetry through my biggest influences and through the content of my work. Poetry should "bite" you, leave an in impression. It should continue to haunt you long after you read it, like it's gotten under your skin and you carry it with you everywhere you go....
The key writers and works that "bit" me, influencing my manuscript are: Lucille Clifton (...

Statement of Aesthetics [excerpts]
Living with Shadows is a collection of poems derived from many experiences with a handful of people I've encountered in my life.

While the works are free verse, there is a sense of restraint and attention to the weight a line can bear done in order to emphasize the...
