Stephen Newton ("Each Day Then Was As Each Day Now," "The Mask of the Octopus," "My Family Had a '55 Ford"):
"I am Assistant Professor of English at William Paterson University in Wayne,
New Jersey, where I also direct the Writing Center. In my spare time I like
to sit in on electric guitar with friends playing in bars in the southern
Adirondacks/ Lake George/ Saratoga Springs area, and many years ago was a
night-shift janitor at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee. On
my office wall at the university I have postcards of Tom Waits, Allen
Ginsberg, James Joyce, Fernando Pessoa, Willam Burroughs, Chet Baker, Billie
Holliday, Jack Kerouac, Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman, the Dalai Lama, Homer
Simpson, and Elvis."
