I am looking forward to challenging myself and my muse to write a poem-an-hour for 24 hours. I’ve written a poem-a-day for over 16 years so I hope the dedication to the craft, the practice of poetry, and pure determination will help get me to the finish line… and proud of what I created. In the past few weeks, I have challenged other poets to give it a try. I hope they do! Good luck, everyone!

Hi! I am a poet, editor, workshop leader, and host for several poetry events on Long Island. I am the author of 7 poetry collections, most recently DogSpeak, the 24 poems from the 2022 poetry marathon and I am supporting North Shore Animal League, the world's largest no-kill animal shelter organization, with proceeds. I have written a poem-a-day for over 19 years. Writing a poem-an-hour is an amazing adventure! After all, sleep is overrated.
