Focus

This site is about words in performance. Words sung, acted, chanted, recited. And about performance without words, too: dance, instrumental music, pantomime, and all the arts of the theatre. And simply about art, which elides all boundaries. But words, and performance in which words are important, are the focus. I am a poet, playwright, composer, and translator. A little browsing will reveal the sorts of topics that interest me.

The site now has a blog. I’ll be calling attention to performances, informally reviewing things, and discussing all my hobby horses. Comments welcome.
