Wel­come!

head shotHello and thanks for visi­ting my website. Here you can find out about my work as a poet, essa­yist, trans­la­tor and busi­ness wri­ter. There are sam­ple poems from my books here, links to the sites where you can buy those books, excerpts from reviews, links to online work and more. There’s an Events page, and a form you can use to get in touch with me. If you’ve got a busi­ness and you need to have some wri­ting done, there’s also infor­ma­tion about Wri­ting The Future Of Your Busi­ness, a business-writing ser­vice which I star­ted in the 1990s. Full-time, I am an Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor in the English Depart­ment of Nas­sau Com­mu­nity College in Gar­den City, NY, where I coör­di­nate The Crea­tive Wri­ting Pro­ject and teach a variety of cour­ses, inc­lu­ding Fresh­man Com­po­si­tion, Crea­tive Wri­ting and Tech­ni­cal Wri­ting. (If you’d like infor­ma­tion about my work at NCC, please go to my faculty web page.) Finally, this web­site con­tains my blog, It’s All Con­nec­ted, where you can read what I have to say about, in no par­ti­cu­lar order, lite­ra­ture and social jus­tice; poetry and sex; trans­la­tion and mas­cu­li­nity; Jewish iden­tity and teaching; gen­der and Iran; wri­ting and femi­nism; and wha­te­ver else moves me to write — because it really is, all of it, connected.

Again, thanks for stop­ping by!
