From short, poignant turns to more reflective meditations and expressions in free verse and traditional forms, these poems reflect new interests in Eastern philosophy, practices of embodied wisdom, and the importance of being authentic in accepting and integrating different aspects of one's life and life experiences.

His research interests include aesthetics and philosophy and popular culture. His literary work includes poetry and fiction.
