Elemental Natures draws together thirty years of poetic practice, with substantial selections from six previous books of poetry, including the sequence "No One Comes For Penelope- ", a retelling of the end of the Odyssey that teases the reader with conflicting views of time and reality. The essay, "The American Voice", looks at three iconic American poets, Walt Whitman, Robinson Jeffers, and Robert Lowell, emphasizing an entirely different viewpoint of what is unique to the American voice in poetry, focusing on its largesse, passion, excess, and ability to recover in confronting and making sense of our lives.

Autorenporträt
My poems, stories and articles have appeared widely in both American and English journals. Books of poetry include Wrestling With The Angel (1990), Becoming Human (2001), Human/Nature (2006), Seasons of Defiance (2010), which placed as a finalist in the 8th. National USA Book Awards, Transformations combining art and poetry (2013), and Homecomings (2015). Elemental Natures, selected lyrics, sequences, and prose, appeared in 2020. I am a recipient of a Creative Writing Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and various other scholarships. Among plays, Rasputin and Gambits were produced at the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. Time's Up and Fox, Hound, and Huntress were premiered in Los Angeles; publications include Time's Up; Fox, Hound & Huntress; and Time's Up and Other Plays. I founded graduate playwrighting and the graduate screenwriting programs at USC and California State University, Northridge, respectively. I have published a screenwriting textbook, The Understructure of Writing for Film & Television, and A Poetics for Screenwriters, as well as The Death and Life of Drama, reflections on writing and human nature. My works also include a novel, Second Chances (2001). A children's novel, Orpheus Rising (2021), and a shorter children's book, The Tale of Brian and the House Painter Mervyn (spring, 2022). My family is split between Los Angeles, where I helped establish the California State Park System in the Santa Monica Mountains, and London, where a married daughter lives in Crouch End, the family seat for generations on my wife's side.
