I was born in Mandatory Palestine which, in 1948, became Israel, and my native language is Hebrew. I studied art and graphic design and worked in book publishing before coming to the U.S. with my family in 1971, at age 30.

I worked in advertising and daily newspapers and lived in New Orleans, LA; Lexington, KY; Maplewood, NJ, and Palo Alto, CA, before moving to Boise, ID, in 2018. 

At age 70 I discovered poetry.

Decent Exposure is my first book.

Launched in September, 2024 in Boise, Idaho at Rediscovered Books – it was the 6th top seller of 2024, the only local author on the list.

In May, 2025, it won the 2024 TOP FIVE SELECTION AWARD form Woodrow Hall Editions in Madison, Wisconsin, sponsored by the Top Shelf Awards – Poetry Jumps Off the Shelf.
