My book of poems and short stories entitled “Clocks Stopped at a Strange and Savage Hour”was published by Serious Ink Press in 2008. It was inspired and provoked by my experience of being homeless in NY, and living illegally in a small office space two blocks from ground zero in the aftermath of the attack. I wanted to convey the sense of helplessness and terror as I was driven from one place to the next, all the while suffering from the debilitating effects of the WTC toxins and the psychic aftermath of the attack. Some of the major themes that run through my stories are loneliness, isolation, and a heightening of perception that can transform a street or a landscape into an hallucinatory spectacle. Dreams and memory are also important to me and are woven throughout my work.
