Bio in a Nutshell: 

I received my BA from Messiah College, where I discovered the wonders of Shakespeare and Milton, and where first began scratching out poems. Amazed that someone would give me a degree for continuing to do that, I made my way west to the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I received my MFA. But while steeped in the study of contemporary poetry, I found myself haunted by the past: I couldn't shake Shakespeare, so I headed back east, this time to New York City and Fordham University, where I completed my PhD. By some kind of blind fate, I ended up back home in central Pennsylvania, among family and friends old and new, and with the best students a professor could ask for.
