At a poetry reading a woman once asked me to share something about myself that no one would know directly from reading my bio or my work. Somewhat embarrassed, I told the audience about my poetry dance -- a little Michael Jackson-inspired shtick I do around the house in my pajamas when I am high from a good-poem day. Luckily, they didn't ask me to do the dance! However, that moment, that question, was my inspiration for this website which I've sprinkled with tidbits about me -- my work, my life -- that you couldn't otherwise know or find anyplace else.
Though I've included the standard kind of stuff like my official bio and curriculum vita, you'll also find personal notes on the inspirations behind several poems, and a bio narrative in which I discuss my dual life as a civil engineer by day, poet by night.
In this day of social media overload, my hope is that we can connect more intimately than through a Tweet or a Facebook post. I'd love to hear from you.
Perhaps you know of my poetry and want to learn more, or perhaps you were simply browsing for Latino or Cuban-American authors and happened upon this page. Regardless, feel free to contact me at . Friends, colleagues, students, readers, strangers, writers -- whoever you may be -- welcome.
