Hello out there and welcome –  My name is Philip and I hope that you find something that resonates with you, that makes you feel, makes you think or inspires you in some new way.

 

I write what I see and what I feel, and when I breathe deeply, I can write.   I have been writing for close to 40 years, nearly a daily practice.  Writing has become my most constant companion, and it connects me to myself and to the people I love.  Writing soothes me when I am troubled, and supports me when I am joyful.  It lets me make enough sense of this troubled world that I can navigate most days and survive the daily barrage of news

I write across genres, from poetry to novels, from children’s to essay, short stories and young adult.
