In 2000, he represented The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge at The National Poetry Slam in Providence, Rhode Island. This is his first book. He returned to DePaul and graduated in 2009.Published Works

1 hundred hiccups ISBN: 097080122X Em Pr. 2002 "Each poem within is a spectacular silhouette of romance. Or better--these poems are like cubist paintings: The jagged juxtaposition of symbols, meticulously brushed meter, and tough texture of language blur conventional meaning as they sharpen our focus on the beautiful and the sublime. When I read your poetry, I feel happily marooned on a distant planet in a distant galaxy. There are two suns in a sky that isn't blue, but red there is rain in the winter and snow in the summer there is gravity but things fall upward. These poems turn me on my head, and as the blood rushes to my brain, truth rushes to my heart. From poet to poet--I hope Cummings and John Berryman like company."---George David Miller, author of Children of Kosen-Rufu |
