He is the author of three books of poetry, "Third Temple" (2007), "Chair in the Desert" (2000), and "Tekiah" (1994). His poems have appeared in many journals as well as several anthologies, including "Best American Spiritual Writing 2005" and "Telling and Remembering: A Century of American-Jewish Poetry".

He is now assistant director of The Jewish Arts Institute at Elat Chayyim, located at the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center, where he will be teaching creative writing in a two year training institute that begins in August 2007. He is poetry editor of "Zeek: A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture".

He lives in Asheville with his wife, Laurie, and son, Gabe. His two-step daughters, Alice and Margaret, are currently pursuing their careers elsewhere.
