Location	Surabaya, Indonesia
Introduction	I am a newly appointed English teacher in Singapore. I just left being the Head of English at Sekolah Ciputra in Surabaya, Indonesia where I was for 6 years. I have taught poetry in the south of France, English on the coast of Maine, ESL in villages in Thailand, Entrepreneurship in Cambodia. Tween times I have been a yacht and house carpenter in Maine, New York, and San Francisco. I have three wonderfully wild and wooly sons and about 18 bucks in my checking account.
Favorite movies	I think about the films of Terrence Malick and Wong Kar Wai- the visuals, the characters, the interior monologues. So I guess that means I cotton to indulgent visual poetry.
Favorite music	My favorite line about music is the Duke's: "If it sounds good, it is good."
Favorite books	Okay so you clicked the profile button and came here so I guess there should be SOME reward for that...my favorite novels include Crime and Punishment and Housekeeping- in fact everything by Marilynne Robinson. Everything by Cormac McCarthy. My newest favorite book is Roberto Bolano's 2066. The older I get the more amazed I am by so many lines Shakespeare wrote.
