Fairly rich and privileged childhood. Growing discomfort, and eventually embarrassment, about that.
Attended a liberal arts college famous for its commitment to questioning everything.
Became a high school teacher. Literature and writing.
Began writing poetry, seriously.
Acquired a small printing press and taught myself to print poetry.
Founded, with my spouse, Beverly, Homewood Studios, a place for eight artists to have studios, a gallery, and a community of curious individuals committed to asking questions and to express the questions as works of art.
