Help me avoid writing my novel! Sponsor me to write 30 Poems in November as a fundraiser for the Center for New Americans, a wonderful nonprofit that provides English-language instruction, job training, and citizenship preparation for immigrants. In addition to good karma, sponsors will receive a cute photo of my cat Theodore and (if in the USA) a handmade collage greeting card. What are you waiting for? I am the author of five poetry books and chapbooks, most recently MADE MAN (Little Red Tree), the novel TWO NATURES (Saddle Road Press), and the story collection AN INCOMPLETE LIST OF MY WISHES. I am also the editor of the writing resource site WinningWriters.com.
