Author Biography
Phil Smith is, in a nutshell, post-everything-he is SO after that. A professor at Eastern Michigan University, he's also the director of the Brehm Center for Special Education Scholarship and Research. He has studied creative writing at several universities, photographer, filmmaking, and education. Phil's work-academic and creative-has been published widely, since 1977. A poet, playwright, novelist, and visual and performance artist, his books include Pomes; Plaize; Hagiography, or the Electron; St. Croix: Walls, Windows, Doors, Light; and Ice and Snow, as well as several academic works. He is a disability rights activist, and served on the review boards for a number of journals. He rides his bicycle a lot, and tries to remember to wear his socks. A transplanted Yankee, Phil now lives in Michigan, where he makes maple syrup at Flamingo Farm, and spends as much time as he can beside Lake Superior, at a cabin on Keweenaw Bay.
