Originally from Bronx, NY, I live in Carbondale, Illinois...teach English at a community college and have been writing and publishing poetry since 1970. I am here to read for inspiration from other poets, and I get so much of that here.
And most often the reviews I receive really encourage me to keep the fingers moving over the keys, and I appreciate that as well. I have been here now since about 2008 and it has been good years. I thank my fellow poets for that.

Friending works two ways. If we have had interaction, which means a two way street, a back and forth, comment-wise...then I will accept a friend request and will request you as a friend so that I can keep up with your writing. But if you friend me just so that I will read and comment on your work and don't reciprocate, the friendship will not last.
The purpose of a site like this is to Share.
I love reading and will search for new poets, poets I have never read before...
