David Holper has done a little bit of everything: taxi driver, fisherman, dishwasher, bus driver, soldier, house painter, bike mechanic, bike courier, and teacher. In spite of all that useful experience on his resume and a couple of degrees in English to boot, he has managed to publish a number of stories and poems. His first book of poetry, 64 Questions, is available through March Street Press. He teaches English in Eureka, California, which is far enough from the madness of civilization that he can get some writing done. Another thing that helps in this process is that his three children continually ask him to tell them stories, and he is learning the art of doing that well for them. "There are two kinds of people in this world : those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better." Tom Robbins
