I’m a hunter who tries not to kill my poems by over writing them then creating some poetry taxidermy animal. Sometimes the eyes will glow but they’re fake eyes, like marble eyes, and that’s no good.

I’m often amazed at what some poets can produce in ten to twenty minutes in a workshop. I hold workshops with my dreams, and have started to wake up and write some lines at 4 am on my phone, and then I can’t figure out what I’ve written because it’s all misspelled.

Fisher, sometimes fisher cat (Pekania pennanti) here.

Occasional hunter.

Frequent daydreamer, word collector, bird watcher.

One who almost always reads in workshop, but who almost always writes slant either to or away from the prompt.

Most common source? The chiming of language in my ear or my eye.

Thanks for asking the question.
