I'm the author of three books of poetry, the most recent of which, Primitive Mood, won the T.S. Eliot Prize from Truman State University Press, and was published in 2009. My verse has appeared widely in anthologies and in magazines such as Ploughshares, Poetry, The Georgia Revew, The Iowa Review, and The Sewanee Review. I'm also a physician specializing in transfusion medicine, and I live, write and practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."
