The Cunning Linguist

Born and raised in Newark, N.J., I grew up as an avid reader. Encyclopedia Brown, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew were just some of the characters that expanded my childhood imagination. As a teenager, I began to write poetry and read more mature material by authors such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz. At the age of 17, I wrote my first short story poem entitled "Death Of A Drug Dealer".

Short Story Poetry is exactly what it sounds like, stories that rhyme. I've written roughly 35-60 short story poems and continue to pull concepts and ideas for these poems out of music, pop culture, and thin air.

I'm a father of 2 (son & daughter), a die hard NY Giants and LA Lakers fan, and am currently hard at work on more short story poems as well as a novel simultaneously.
