About Me

• I'm enchanted by reality and determined to share my vision of a future in which humanity finally sheds its Stone-Age delusions and embraces its unity, with itself and the rest of the Universe.  I'm in awe of the power of language, second only to the power of love.  I've had poems published in The Louisiana Review, American Atheist, Free Inquiry, Barrelhouse Magazine, The Tampa Review, and one coming out next year in Big Bridge. 

  After having to leave the Bible Belt following a run-in with the PTA over prayer in the schools, I'm enjoying my newfound freedom to speak my mind up north, as well as returning to the art of writing fiction, because I've got some stories to tell.  I have an anonymous blog where I confront religious stupidity.
