His published work is highlighted by his book High Life, (Horse Less Press, 2016), a collection of poems from his dissertation. His chapbooks are Gem City/Fountain City, Children of Reagan (both from Rabbit Catastrophe), and Slowjams (Living Arts). His work has appeared in Action Yes, Diagram, Lungfull, West Wind Review, Willow Springs, and others.
The University of Hartford Philosophy Club has an informal, jovial atmosphere. It is a place where students, professors, and people from the community at large meet as peers. Sometimes presentations are given, followed by discussion. Other times, topics are hashed out by the whole group.
Presenters may be students, professors, or people from the community. Anyone can offer to present a topic. The mode of presentation may be as formal or informal as the presenter chooses.
Come and go as you wish. Bring friends. Suggest topics and activities. Take over the club! It belongs to you! Just show up!
