  <about><![CDATA[My author picture is of my kids hanging out with singer B.J. Snowden.   I wrote for Rollerderby &amp; Grand Street in the '90s and have a busy, inefficient life that now has me trying to form thousands of pages of schizoid ranting into a novel and a second book of poems.    I think I won some writing award or other while flunking out of UNH.   I was also nominated for a Pushcart Prize twice.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[outsider art, schizophrenia, Bill Knott, Osamu Dazai, Mary Maclane, Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Manhattan</hometown>  <born_at>12/07/1966</born_at>
