First, I consider myself a journalist, not the fact-checking, who, what, where, when and why kind of reporter – but the gut-checking – why did this, or why is this happening to me to me or others. I'm an activist-essayist, memoirist, and a poet – not the classically-trained writer of sonnets and couplets, with meter and rhyme, purveyor of stanzas, refrains and quatrains – instead I fashion narrative prose describing mundane scenes of everyday life, in search for meaning and an audience, to muse and give voice to emotions and ideas. Lastly, I consider myself perfectly flawed and human, one person, living a life in community with others.
