His work has appeared extensively in journals as well as in such anthologies as Beat Indeed, The Haiku Moment, Up is Up But So is Down: NYU Downtown Literary Anthology. He often reads his work in collaboration with musicians. A regular contributor to the Brooklyn Rail, he is active in the mail-art circuit and has shown his collages at Poets’ Collages shows.
