Dickens. Born illegitimate when it was shameful, son of a WWII marine who, missing in action, turned back up--for one night, at least. Thanx, Dad. Mom was Rosie the Riveter at aircraft plant in Wichita, KS, then became Lois the Dominatrix long before any of us heard of the word. Enormous physical abuse, but at least she didn't charge. Reform school at 16 (bank robbery, car theft, assault, B&E), 17th birthday in solitary confinement. Successful escape, meaning the bastards never caught me. Higher education at various colleges and universities, including Kansas University as well as studying Hawaiian and Japanese languages in Honolulu. English Major. 26 or so years in Honolulu, 3 in Vancouver. Taught English in Japan. 3 great kids, 1 of whom still loves me. Hopeless drunk, currently sober. Homeless. Dharma Bum. Damn good poet. Kinky, too. |
