Bio: I attend a fine graduate school program in reading education here in Pittsburgh. I'm also finishing up a book of poems that I'm going to publish and sell as a Mobipocket e-book. Definitely struggling with the reflowable text / verse conflict thingy, but I'm getting there. The trick is to keep the lines as short as possible, which is generally speaking a part of good poetic practice anyways. I'm underemployed right now but hangiing in there until I finish school. Living frugally is the key.
