My writing life has taken me in a number of different directions. While I now work primarily in haiku, I had a long life as a free-verse poet before that, and also dabbled in various prose forms. Use the table of contents below to navigate to the genres most relevant to you. Note that as of this writing, I have published over 200 haiku and related forms. Due to how erratic I am in updating this list, that section should always be considered incomplete.
