He began writing poetry at an early age and it has been second nature for him to keep notebooks to record inner and outer experience. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut (1963) in Clinical Psychology and has worked in several settings in this field. Vagron Books published his first chapbook Baroque in Chaos under the editorship of Felix Stefanile, noted editor of poetry. He was one of the original editors of The Wormwood Review, a magazine which has been in existence for quite a long time. His other publications are titled: Cleft between Heaven and Earth (Illuminations Press); An Octave Higher than Grief (Libra Press); and They Say You like Dandelions (Galley Sail press).
He was awarded a fellowship in playwriting, in 1976, to the Squaw Valley of Community Writers Conference where his play, This Side of Felony, was produced. In 1980, his play A Palette of Leaves was done by ACT in their Plays in Progress series. Gathering the Grace of Others (Beatitude Press) is his most recent publication. He has one daughter, Lisa, a fine writer in her own right. He has been married to Susan for forty-eight years; she is a gifted ceramacist and developer of non-profit housing in Berkeley. He considers her as my religion.view less
