During and after college, I worked with the Central American Solidarity Committee, the Nuclear Freeze and the Johns Hopkins Anti-Apartheid Coalition. I studied International Politics at Johns Hopkins University, and learned a lot about grass-roots organizing from veteran Baltimore organizers, Kathy Shaafsma and Mike Bardoff (whose name you might see in the Amethyst Road). I started writing when I was twelve, or perhaps even younger, publishing my first (and last) poem in a fourth grade newsletter. I grew up in Buffalo, New York with my parents, two brothers and a dog, named Tigere, on the mistaken assumption that this was French for “tiger”.
