I sorta side-stepped the whole #introduction thing yesterday with my brace of hashtags, so here’s a little something.

Among other things, I’m a substitute #teacher and #tutor (elementary thru high school). For several hours each morning, I try to be a #poet. For the last few years, I’ve been employing #ChanceOperations to build things that sometimes resemble poems.

Also, I have a chapbook coming out — soonish, I’m told — from above/ground press.
