About Me

Hacking out an existence on Manhattan's mid-town west side.
I've been in town too long perhaps.
As far as history is concerned I've always been a poet
looking out for new avenues to expand.
I love books, stories, films and a host of rock music.
I even do the rock music thing sometimes.
I have an awesome acoustic guitar. His name is Ace.
I'm beginning to dust off my electrics.
Have a bunch of cool new songs so I will begin
recording a new CD in early 2013.

Why do you write?

In a general way the fact of being alive. More specifically my environment, my relationships, politics and exciting visuals.

I write because if I did not there would be bad explosions in my head and I'd rather have them on paper.

The more I write the more I value my readings.

I've learned to keep eyes wide open.

Any favorite authors? Books?

Favorite books depends on what my current reading list is but I am often drawn to Kerouac, O'Connor, Hemingway, Carver, L. Block.

Right now I'm reading The Paperboy by Pete Dexter.

Hey Tim! I think your Twitter account might have been hijacked. Unless you really are trying to sell me "The Most Powewrful Fat-Fighting Formula in the World."
