Triolet A friend’s (very nice) new website. She did a profile of me not too long ago. It’s odd to read about myself in the third person, but there it is. One of the people in Denning was talking to me today about how impressive this “Facebook friend” of mine was – it was Amber. No […]

Our Third Anniversary.
24-Sep-11Our first post, three years ago to the day. Three years and six hundred-odd posts later, we’re still producing material for this website.

Roommates.
09-Nov-10This is another essay I wrote about life on Staten Island, which did not make it into the book. As I mentioned before, I wrote about 45,000 words for the Staten Island book, of which only 20,000 made it to the published version; the other essays were left out for various reasons. I intend to […]
Reading at Staten Island Museum.
09-Nov-10The release for the Staten Island book went splendidly. We packed the room (65 people, I am told) the day after I had asked for a bigger space. And we sold every single copy of the book we had with us. From the writer’s perspective, that’s a good day. The photo at left shows the space […]
