Lectura de Poesia

 

Este es un ejemplar de mi poesía reciente en español o traducida al español del ingles original. Es una lectura breve (18 minutos) de varios tipos de poemas que incluyen sonetos, haikus y verso libre. Estos son algunos de los poemas que van a ser incorporados en mi segundo libro de poesía este verano si el tiempo me lo permite. Por razón del lenguaje en tres de los poemas, opte restringirlo a personas mayores de 18.

Video Presentation on Copyright Law (50 minutes)

Convocation to Install New Distinguished Professors at Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business Announced

The announcement was sent out yesterday for the convocation installing the new distinguished professors in Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business.

It will be a bittersweet day for me as my unsung heroes never received their due acknowledgment in life and I have had more than my fair share of acknowledgment for little more than doing my job. I am nothing. The...

ABC television affiliate as part of her investigative report on the use of traffic cameras in Washington, D.C. She reached out to us after reading one of our articles on traffic enforcement by camera in her research. Reports that aired earlier this week feature some of my comments.
