I’ve been at it for quite a while. My scribbles have resulted in a few books, some published, some not, some in translation, and mountains of words and drawings in print and online — more, really, than I could reliably remember or keep track of. Now, after several years of sifting and organizing, with no shortage of digression along the way, this website has, for the most part, remedied that. Essentially, it’s a collection of old work and new, a kind of living testament that consists of what I feel are my best, most inspired efforts, combined with journal entries, reading notes, and observations small enough, sometimes, to fit on the head of a pin.

In terms of organization, the extensive list of Tags & References found below can be used as an index, or as a springboard to random reading in various genres, subjects, and themes, including biographical. The list under Categories & Sources serves as a site map, gathering content from more than 2,000 pages by department or title. Recent Posts will catch you up in a hurry. Nota Bene sets the stage and provides handy places to jump in. The photographs and personal odds and ends are self-explanatory. However you approach it, casually or in depth, I hope you feel your time here is well spent. If you care to be in touch, I can be reached by email.

Thank you.
