Here is the paragraph about me:

#5– Revising poetry books

In July 2017, I finished revising a book of nature poetry. The collection includes poetry that I have written since the late 1960s. I spent a lot of 2017 deciding which of my many poems about nature were the best, deciding on major structural divisions for the book, and arranging the poems in a logical order. I have been sending the manuscript to publishers since July. So far, I do not have any offers to publish my book; however, I will keep submitting the collection to editors and presses.

I am the past president of the Michigan College English Association. I have a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago. I have published four poetry books: Nature's Olympics (Wipf and Stock, 2021), Exodus (WordTech Communications, 2014), Folk Concert: Changing Times (Anaphora Literary Press, 2012) and Traffic Stop (Finishing Line Press, 2011). My scholarly book, Coleridge, Lamb, Hazlitt, and the Reader of Drama, was published in 1990 by the University of Missouri Press. My fiction picture book about bullying for children, How the Moon Regained Her Shape (Arbordale, 2006; 7th edn. 2022), has won four national awards. My play The Cell Phone won fourth place in a national contest and was performed twice at the Fenton Village Players One-Act Play Festival on June 24-25, 2011 in Fenton, Michigan. Triton College produced another play, Pledging, as part of its Tritonysia Play Festival in May 2017. Choeofpleirn Press published Pledging in Rushing Through the Dark (2022).
