A book-length graphic poem memorializing my life in New York, and the people I was with. Later adapted into a one-act play. This is the work I feel best represents who I am, and who I can be as a poet.

Books
Over time, I've managed to put out the occasional book of blended genre and even blended media, built around a fusion of spoken word and page poetry. The one I'm proudest of is Manhattan Beatitude. Click here for a review. Or click here to read about my poetic roots.
Reliquary (2010)
A memoir in poems and nonfiction, with a one-act play in the middle. Contains the “Bearing the Pall" cycle.
Blood, Sex & Prayer (2005)
This is juvenalia. My thinking was not developed. My style was derivative. Both the publisher and I were so rushed to get this to press that it contains embarrassing typos. And I love it. This is me, as I was coming out of my 20s, and there are still at least some seeds of good things to come.
Bearing the Pall (2009)
Bearing the Pall is a chapbook released by One Small Bird Press in 2009. It is a cycle of poems mourning the loss of friends I had in the 1990s, and celebrating the bohemian lifestyle we lived.
