Biography

I am the son of Holocaust survivors and have been a writer, editor and publisher for many years, and a darvish of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order since 1992. I have an M.A. in Philosophy from DePaul University in Chicago, and have worked on such varied magazines as Hustler and the American Bar Association (ABA) Human Rights magazine. Between 1977 and 1985, I published Fantastic Films magazine. After a lenghty illness and spiritual experience in 1986, I published my first book, It Was Mostly You, a collection of poetry. I self-published the critically acclaimed Master of the Jinn: A Sufi Novel in 2004, and also write the popular blog Darvish
