In his early 20s he went to live in Vienna and stayed for seven years before moving to Phoenix in 1978. Since then he has continued to pursue his visual art life and in Arizona he has grown ever more fascinated by the desert and its wildlife. Much of his poetry has come to reflect his growing concern for the natural world. In 2008, he won the Ronald Wardall Award from Rain Mountain Press for his chapbook \u003cem\u003eThe Lost River,\u003c\/em\u003e and in 2009 the Slipstream Chapbook Competition for \u003cem\u003eFrom the Age of Miracles.\u003c\/em\u003e Other poetry collections include \u003cem\u003eA Normal Day Amazes Us\u003c\/em\u003e (Kings Estate Press) and \u003cem\u003eThe Devil’s Sonata\u003c\/em\u003e (FutureCycle Press).
