Bio
I inscribe myself as LCMT, and will answer readily to Lin, if that's your preference. I function as the owner, operator and general dogsbody of the Intaglio Galosh Press—which, it should be explained, has neither intaglios nor presses, nor even a lone galosh. I am a woolgatherer, a dawdler, an ignoramus and an omnivore. I am legged, but not bow-legged, and generally I consider myself less saline than most people, but that could be a misapprehension on my part. I am nine inches long, from the inside of my elbow to the inside of my wrist. I am a deficient typist. My favorite shirts are soft, raggedy, 100% cotton and long-sleeved. My favorite shoes are cotton oxfords—I grew up in Keds, after all—and I wear them out until their soles crack. If you have a question about anything, feel free to use the comments or e-mail. All contents of this journal, except otherwise noted, are copyrighted by LCMT.

Explained Against My Better Instincts

Poetry in an Unexpected Place

The Agate Hinge and Other Poems : Copies of the first edition are still available. The books are soft cover, hand-bound, signed and numbered; the covers are printed in different color variations. $12.00 per book, plus $3.00 shipping; I am amenable to trading books. E-mail is a good way to contact me.

A selection of poems from The Agate Hinge remain online:

      What to Say to a Prince: Some Suggestions for a Damsel
      For you I will chisel away the starless sand

      Carpet Tacks (The Hardware Ballad)
      Hammer tack! Bobbin puller! Rubber mallet!

      free waves mustering
      totem poles in a barking sea

      my dream home
      this groaning house is mine

      Rural Route 1, Box 54
      If I again

      Nuestra Señora
      She cannot renew the day without his cloudiness of glower
