I am serious minded. I have a difficult time with shallow people. I think about things and believe that a serious internal life is important. I'm a published novelist and a poet and I'm also a painter. I am both an introvert and an extrovert--though that may sound like a contradiction. I love a beautiful face but I'm more interested in a beautiful mind and a beautiful heart. I'm political and intellectually curious and I'm very independent. I think touch is very important. How we touch people and how they touch is what makes our lives and what keeps us human. I am an avid reader but I also love the movies and like to travel. I guess you could say that I am addicted to discovering the world I live in. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't give a damn about the big and awesome world we live in.

I have published six serious literary novels and four books of poems. I've also published three children's books. I'm a professor and I'm widely traveled. I've lived in Europe, California, Louisiana and Iowa. Now, I'm back living on the border--a place I find maddening and fascinating.

I'm not sure I believe in a soul mate. But I'd like a guy who is comfortable in his own skin, knows who he is, knows his limitations and yet struggles to stretch himself to become more than he is. I'd like a guy who takes care of his body but also takes care of the life of the mind and the life of the heart. Like all guys, I'd like someone who is attractive. He doesn't have to be beautiful. A generous man is what I'd like--generous in and out of the bedroom.
