"The Star Ledger," "Gravedigger's Birthday," "Bastards with Badges," and "Another Poem on the Death of a Dog"
A very handsome page that the good folks at SUNY Binghamton made for me when I read there.

"Filling in the New Address Book"
The page NPR created when Garrison Keillor read this poem on the air for his "The Writer's Almanac" show. Scroll all the way down--mine is the last poem on the page. If you have RealAudio, you'll be able to click a tab to hear Mr. Keillor read it aloud.

"Mythology in the Shop-Rite"
A fun page about NJ Writers created by Maureen Berzok of NJ.com. Scroll down to October 19th if you want to read my poem, in which I try to document the epiphany I had concerning ancient Greek mythology while being overcharged for a bag of tortilla chips. This is what happens when you watch the Bill Moyers/Joseph Campbell special, "The Meaning of Myth," straight through (all six hours of it...).

"In Defense of Syracuse's Loose-Knitted Sky"
This poem is from my first book, "Landing in New Jersey with Soft Hands."

"Jimmy Vivino and Bruce Springsteen at Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ"
A poem published in Painted Bride Quarterly's issue #72--the all music issue. In case you don't know PBQ, it's a terrific journal, available online (obviously) with a print edition released annually. Without exception, every issue exhibits exciting and refined editorial decisions.

"Roy Orbison's Last Three Notes"
This is a very cool website called "Poets in their Thirties." I've discovered a parliament of young writers whose work I really like by rooting around on this site.
