Personal Statement: I write the truth about myself, my community, my people, and my world in poetry and personal essays. I write for people who always thought they didn't like poetry because poetry was something about other people's lives that they could never understand.

Current Work
My most recent chapbook is The Poet Laureate of People Who Hate Poetry, available from http://www.thetimegarden.com/produce.htm I'm currently working on a memoir about my home in Maple, Kentucky.
