I perform a variety of editorial and writing jobs for this small startup company. I have recently provided editorial assistance on two fine art books, "Artist at the Front" and "Now a Geisha," and a poetry book, "Provincial Symphony."I also have written articles for the Turtle Bay Association News and reviews of poetry books and art. See my article "Mourning Lutece and a Turtle Bay That Once Was" and my blog post at Drunken Boat's bimonthly "What I'm Reading Now" feature.

My posts reflect my wide-ranging passions, including tai chi, art, animals, dreams, philosophy, poetry, and justice for all.
