Writing on the Wall:
Poetry by Lenore Weiss
Order The CellPhone Poems, a CD of poetry by Lenore Weiss and soundscapes by Paul Kirk
Cellphones have created new boundaries and fluid definitions between public and private space. The Cellphone Poems explores this convergence of spatial relationships.
Interlaced with multiple conversations, voices, personal stories, and outside intrusions, The Cellphone Poems build to an awareness of our new place in the world.

My essay, Stranger in Paradigm was published by Allyn and Bacon, 2001, in "Writing A Professional Life: Stories of Technical Communicators On and Off the Job."
Just Say the Word
Poetry is what keeps me sane, honest, alive, and able to understand the music in my ears. Plus, I have a lot of fun playing with words. Here's a link to my blog. You can also read an interview with me. I serve as a fiction editor for the November 3rd Club.
