Upcoming Works
At the moment, a new play is in its embryonic stages, and has been for the past few years. Most recently, I completed a feature-length screenplay, "Shakespeare & Company," which tells of Sylvia Beach's struggle to publish James Joyce's great "Ulysses" in an atmosphere of censorship, and repression, not unlike the one in which we find ourselves today.
The stage adaptation, "The Battle for Ulysses," has had a reading for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California Legal Programs.
"Riding with Destiny," a collection of my most recent poems, is still seeking an eligible suitor.
I'm a Huffington Post blogger, and my essays frequently appear at OpEd News, the Atlantic Free Press, AlterNet, and are distributed frequently through Yahoo and Google News, as well as posted at The Los Angeles Times, and other prominent online newspapers.
