You are what you read (oh, would that it were true!) I am, first of all, an avid reader: of contemporary literature, genre fiction, and literary classics. I'm currently compiling a database of world literature – a long-term project, hopefully. I've worked as a researcher, writer, teacher, and curriculum developer. My essays (of recent vintage) can be found at wordpixelsblog. As for the quixotic venture of writing poetry, it is simply a joy, a passion, a trial and a game I wish to share. And you?
