During my tenure at UMASS Amherst, I was fortunate to get release time to attend the writing group facilitated by Leslie Fraser. I read my work on Upfront, a weekly radio program on campus for workers ( WMUA 91.9 FM) with other writers in the group. I am now involved with Write Up Springfield, a writing group which meets at the Springfield Central Library. One of my poems was recently accepted for the Silkworm, a yearly publication from the Florence Poets Society.
