I joined the PSU (then PSC) faculty in the English Department in 2001. These days I'm teaching mostly Creative Writing, Poetry Workshop, and Composition. Talk to me about the provocative uncertainties of learning & teaching; the moon shot (unless you believe it didn't happen); all things poetry; what art might be for; all things books/arts/book-arts; what you like to cook/eat/drink; the Alien saga; and please tell me what book you think I should read next.
