The nonfiction and fiction titles ascribed to this author of future societies weave tapestries of myth, science, philosophy and satire to interrogate Dante’s visions, anime’s haunted machines and skies streaked with unraveling echoes. Even though the poetic titles come first and he received a doctorate in studies in language and literature from the University of Texas, he replanted the Pharmacy College's Experimental Drug and Herb Garden, which implicates the botanical influence in such titles as Encouragements for Such as Shall Have Intention to be Undertakers in the Planting (Austin, 1973) and The True Light That Lights (Parousia Press, Nigeria, 2020, Phoenix 2024), composed of the essence of flowers, plants, stars and creation in ballad forms sung by court bards to welcome a king.

He exhibits prize winning ceramic sculptures of this aesthetic of natural and the human at Forms of the Formless Ceramics and previously attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
