A longtime board member of the Worcester County Poetry Association, he was for many years the layout editor of The Worcester Review and the creator of numerous broadsides celebrating the work of visiting poets. Currently he is part of a collaborative of four poets and four visual artists who are exploring connections to one another’s work.
