He started writing poems in 1991 and hasn't looked back. He has worked primarily as a foot messenger, temporary worker, copy machine operator, editor, teacher, and doer of various jobs at The Poetry Project at St. Marks Church. He is currently working on a new set of self-imposed detours while faking a living as a part-time teacher and being raised by his two young daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote for poems:\u003c\/strong\u003e I get an odd kind of pleasure from writing longhand underneath pre-selected titles, titles that seem to imply or propose a tonal space from which to begin generating and\/or arranging material. A small show of drawings, prints and paintings by Jasper Johns at the Museum of Modern Art titled Regrets made me curious to try that word as a title this past spring, and the term Pregrets – the fantasy or fact of getting ready to feel sorrow or distress, the attendant humors such a frame might provoke, the probability of not landing in the predetermined spot, the derangement of proposed memories – popped into place after awhile and eventually took over as the primary term to work under. As the process of writing these poems is on-going, I don’t have a further assessment to make of their makes, and don’t want to force one out just yet, out of fear of stopping the vehicle before it ends on its own terms. I can say that I’m relying heavily on what I consider internalized collagist wiring to make relatively quick decisions about what gets into the poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnselm Berrigan, \u003cem\u003ePregrets\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e44pp. 2014.
