Through the 1970s I was a poet-in-residence for a number of communities in the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Kentucky. In the first half of the 1980s I was a new vaudevillian working as a clown, juggler, magician and male stripper. From 1984 to 1989 I was a journalist working for magazines and newspapers. I began teaching in higher education in 1986 and started at the Ringling College of Art and Design in 1988.
