After
almost a decade of working as a freelance photographer in Europe, Maurice Oliver returned to America in 1990 to work for the Los Angeles Times. Then, in 1995, he made a lifelong dream reality by traveling around the world for eight months. But instead of taking pictures, he used the same acute creative energy to record the experience in a journal, which eventually became dozens of poems. And so began his ambition to be a poet. His poetry has appeared online in ink-mag.com, retortmag.com, deepcleveland.com, tmpoetry.com, readingdivas.com, spitjawreview.com,diceybrown.com, in One Forty Two Magazine, Holy Ignorance, Eye-Shot, The Surface, Slow Trains, Tryst3 Journal, The Potomac Journal, SrideMagazine(UK), and will appear in coming Spring/Summer 2004 issues of alba.com, poesiamag.com, wordsonwalls.net, and TaintMagazine. He presently resides in Portland, Oregon, where he works as a tutor. |
