Bio
Born in post-Saigon; raised there, then GA; then Queens, which knocked me over, stared me down, stomped on my glasses, toughened me up and gave me allegories for life. Went through the motion at Stuy, got schooled at Cornell, and advanced a degree at GW. Loved literature. Taught literature. Learned the hard way about the profession and its fiefdoms. Rebooted, or am I a retread? Now studying medicine at Upstate. Out of step with my cohort, rueful of lost time, I'm still learning what the aforementioned foray costed me. But I persist, and pursue, and will not let go when I find something good in this world.
