Born in Washington, D.C., just days before the Nixon resignation, something in the aura--was it tragedy or new beginning--has stuck on me like a gritty film that drips onto everything I do. I grew up in Daytona Beach, a beach-rat, saxophone player, and high-school cheerleader. From there, I was off to Tallahassee then Boston then Orlando for continuing formal education. All the while, I've been writing--poetry and essays mostly--as I travel America and the world. My most recent move to Tampa, Florida confirms that I am a citizen of the I-4 corridor, and a visitor of the world's skyways, highways, and beltways. I write under the digital avatar, PoetEconomist, and have used my first published work, MOMENTITIOUSNESS, as a new form for sharing Born in Washington, D.C., just days before the Nixon resignation, something in the aura--was it tragedy or new beginning--has stuck on me like a gritty film that drips onto everything I do. I grew up in Daytona Beach, a beach-rat, saxophone player, and high-school cheerleader. From there, I was off to Tallahassee then Boston then Orlando for continuing formal education. All the while, I've been writing--poetry and essays mostly--as I travel America and the world. My most recent move to Tampa, Florida confirms that I am a citizen of the I-4 corridor, and a visitor of the world's skyways, highways, and beltways. I write under the digital avatar, PoetEconomist, and have used my first published work, MOMENTITIOUSNESS, as a new form for sharing the universality of my experience in a deeply intimate yet academic way.
The creative outlet for my critical method, Semiotic Arbitrage, finds life in my writing spaces. In The Poet-Economist poetry space, I strive actively to root out the sublime between the synapses in language. I stand firmly against ideology, including the ideology of rationality that has supplanted the individual with the rules of science. The Semiotic Arbitrage space is a bit more involved. I explode dense poetry into essayistic flaneurism. Semiotic Arbitrage is the trading of ideas or symbols--taking advantage of those symbols' relative weaknesses and strengths-- among (at least three) different people or groups to gain what I consider "cultural profit." It allows us to look at issues or moments--instead of on a binary continuum--as a multiplanar scatterplot. No more right or wrong, right or left, Conservative or Liberal. It allows us to replace the "or" with "and."
Bachelor's Degrees: Accounting, American Studies.
Master's degrees: Economics, Literature.
ABD: English concentration Texts and Technology.
Have had jobs as: Financial Manager, Construction Company Economist, Political Consultant, Night Club owner, Software consultant, University Adjunct, Author.

BULLY TIME

I recently broke bread with my grade school bully.

He was big for our age, even in elementary. Through juniorand high school, he just got bigger and manlier and handsomer. Which made hismeanness all the more sexy. I tolerated his insults like a forlorn lover.

I emerged small but pudgy and wore my odd effeminacy like achip on my

Quotes by Jason Leclerc (?)

“Outside of the usual bar or nightclub, it's not every day that I get a drink bought for me-at least not by strangers and certainly not on a workday. On that Saturday, in September 2010, it was from three separate individuals.”
