Ink draws from his experiences in central New Jersey, where he can be found hugging perfect-bound and loose leaves alike as if they are not paper-cut-capable. Subject to the tormenting whims of muses, he writes because he has to and submits to journals infrequently because he’s hesitant about postage…and rejection. With a sense of humor as twisted as his word choice, Ink delights in lacing readers into his slightly askew, circa 1985 Reebok Hi-Tops and walking. His poems are as easy to read as they are to understand as they are to enjoy. Published in various journals worldwide, he has a disorganized website at www.inksblot.com and four self-printed chapbooks: “Drinking Coke & Smoke with Beer on the Table” (2000), “Tripped Tongues & Fallen Cases” (2003), “Inanimates” (2004), and “Words That Should Never Be Said (...to a Woman)” (2006).
