I was born in 1940 in Albany, N.Y., but have lived in New York City or its environs for most of my life. I am married, with three adult children. I have a bachelors degree in English literature from Queens College, CUNY, and a masters and doctorate in English and American literature from Stanford University. I am retired. For much of my working life, I taught English at New Jersey City University.
