In Print... Between Covers

In 2007, I was published in two anthologies: identity Envy: Wanting to Be Who We're Not (Harrington Park Press) and Resistance: A Radical Social and Political History of the Lower East Side (Seven Stories Press).

I've churned out hundreds of articles over the years, but the ache to write a full-fledged book remains. Since 1998, I've conducted several dress rehearsals towards that goal, in the guise of contributing to literary anthologies.

In 2007, circumstances allowed me to have pieces published in two anthologies: Identity Envy: Wanting to Be Who We're Not (Harrington Park Press) and Resistance: A Radical Social and Political History of the Lower East Side (Seven Stories Press).

Better yet, the editors of both books held readings in New york City and I leapt at the chance to participate.
