I write nonfiction, including essays, reviews, and political commentary, as well as poetry.  Please contact me at either of the addresses above if I can be of help to you in any writing endeavor.  Here are some samples of my work online:

--This essay about Chiune Sugihara (a Japanese diplomat who rescued Jews in Lithuania during the Holocaust, and is now known as "the Japanese Schindler") was published by Florida singer and tour organizer Joy Katzen-Guthrie on her web page joyfulnoise.net in 2000.

--I published this article on remoras in the member newsletter of the National Aquarium in Washington, DC, in 2001.

--Two of my travel articles, one about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and the other about Newark, New Jersey, have been published by the travel web site Bootsnall.com.

--I wrote the text for a virtual tour of the archeology museum in Ciudad Juarez for the web site Juarez-Mexico.com.  This tour is an ongoing collaboration between the site owner, the museum staff, my wife (who took many of the photographs used in the tour), and myself. 

--Democratic Underground.com used an article I wrote titled "A Great Year in 2005?" in December, 2004.

--This is a review I wrote of the one recording by the late Nick Anthan, a great DC-area pianist and composer.  The poet Jendi Reiter, who is mentioned in the review, quoted from it on her own web site (scroll down to the bottom to see the quote).  

--Here's another review I wrote, this time of the book Folk Housing in Middle Virginia by folklorist Henry Glassie.  I wrote it for one of my college classes. 

--My museum cataloging page has some samples of my museum-oriented writing (to see it, click on the "back" button of your browser, and then click on the link that reads "museum cataloging").

--I like to watch movies and write reviews of them in what little spare time I have.
