He expanded his education with post graduate courses in Psychology and Creative Writing. He believes that the journey of life for him has been more of an astute perceiver than a determined participant with the outcome never considered – it has been a pure meander of instinct, experience and knowledge. “Mirror Images and Shards of Glass” is his first book of poetry. He is currently completing his first novel, “Caught Between” – the true story of an off duty NYC policeman who killed a mafia leader’s son. He is a contributing editor who writes a weekly Art and Literature column for EatSleepWrite.net. He also has a column in the quarterly magazine, Per Niente. Philip has taught, lectured and owned businesses. He lives in West Palm Beach, Florida.показать меньше
