Married Caroline Bowler and moved to England in 2007. Southwest France and Mallorca. The hilltown of Arpino. Venafro and Rocco Calascio in Abruzzo. Venice. At festivals and readings I am still introduced as a San Francisco poet, which is only partly true: many years in San Francisco, but nine years in Hawai’i and more in Europe.
