Poetry

Still under construction, but eventually, I hope to catalog most of the poems I've ever written, dating back to high school. I'm sure you'll find some of these interesting, touching, even challenging; but keep in mind that my standard, especially for the earliest of the material, has been "that which is forgivable."

Videos, Audio

I like to recite poetry and interpret the lyrics to popular music - Shakespeare, Browning, Stairway to Heaven, MacArthur Park, Desperado and much more. Right now, I've just started with audio, but I'll add video when I learn more about the technology and the process. It's different! You might enjoy it.
