David Weiss

David Weiss (STH’72, GRS’80) of Westbrook, Maine, writes, “After writing poetry for over 50 years, I recently published my first book of poems, A Heart on Fire: Poems from the Flames (Maine Authors Publishing, 2014). In May 2011, I closed my practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist in the Boston and Portland, Maine, areas. I am active in book signings, readings, and offering poetry-writing workshops in New England. I also spend part of the year teaching poetry to ninth- and tenth-grade Tibetan Buddhist monks at Sera Jey Monastic University in South India, where my son is a Buddhist monk. My other son is a teacher in the Boston area.”
