Well, I've now spent more years in Bristol, England than I have anywhere else as an adult. That's more than six years by the time you've read this. And though not many British folk would agree, I've lost a lot of that Kentucky accent; folks back home do look at me funny, ask me where I'm from. I am from Kentucky but do feel like I'm from a lot of different places spread out all over the world by now.

Though my backpacking, living abroad days are mostly behind me, I've been fortunate to do some travelling these last couple of years though only for a week or two at a time as opposed to the months of freewheeling I was used to from my 20s. I feel the pull of Kentucky/Tennessee home now more than I ever have. I reckon that comes from having my own family and realizing how important family is. I've my own little boy now who you'll meet in these poems. I'd say you'll also meet, briefly, some of the more inner journeys I've been on as I gain a little age, thinking all the way back to my own childhood, farther back than my memory will go even. Being a family man now, my writing has necessarily changed as the times I have to write tend to come in big chunks when I can get a day or half day to myself and then all that writing that needs to come out comes out. And here's some of that regurgitation here for you.

This bio can only give so much of my life; you can get a little bit more from these here poems. Enjoy.
