His first collection, Deep-Tap Tree (University of Massachusetts Press (1978), is still in print. The Moon Calf was published by Galliard in 1990, and Epitaph for a Butcher (1997) and Sparks in the Dark (2002) both by Akros Publications. More recent books are Carbon Atom (Link-light, 2006) and Scales Dog: New and Selected Poems (Salt, 2007).
