His work has appeared inBest American Poetry 2020, The American Poetry Review, The Iowa Review, The Gettysburg Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, and many other fine journals. A graduate of the University of Maryland with an MFA in poetry, he is the director of Creative Writing at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and a contributing editor to the American Poetry Review.
