1982
I've worked as a book editor at St. Martin's Press for 40 years, editing fiction and nonfiction, including many New York Times bestsellers and award winning books. I have been editor in chief of St. Martin's Press for the past 25 years; earlier, I was founding editor of Picador USA, a literary imprint. I've continued to write as a near-daily practice and have published poems in a range of journals, as well as four books of poems: An Abundance of Caution, Does She Have a Name?, Deniability, and The Apparitioners.
Duke's English department provided a well rounded and deep background in reading, as well as important mentors (James Applewhite being crucial to me).
