My self portrait, I’ve been painting off and on for almost 50 years, in three stages, a pop-art stage in the 60′s, then a burst in the early 80′s when I got remarried and had to pause to make a living for all of us, for Joan and the kids, Chandos and Cybele, then after I retired in 98.
I started poetry at Berkeley in the fifties, but then went and became a physicist working mainly in optics; at the end as a self employed consultant. During the Berkeley Renaisance Spicer, Blaser, an Duncan were my mentors. Most of my work has been written in the last ten years. Presently I’m involved in the Gloucester Charles Olson society.
I live in Essex Mass, next to the great marshes, sail a Nonsuch out of Manchester, and with Joan a catboat on the Essex river.
