He has toured as a Connecticut Touring Poets Roster Artist, and in a bilingual poetry duo with Outstanding Dominican Poet Marianela Medrano. He's an active member of the Highway Poets Motor Cycle Club, the international association of published bikers. Wolf is also Editor of RoadPoet-NY.com, a biker-poetry web site.
