| Introduction | Mike Foldes lives in Endwell, NY, a place that seldom fails to inspire those who've never heard of it to quote Shakespeare. He publishes the on-line arts and literary magazine, ragazine.cc, which frequently trails off to articles on travel, lifestyle and adventure, aspects of the law dealing with the arts, and is open to any and all comers, especially those with something new to add to the sum total of human knowledge. Mike is married and has three grown children. He has a degree in anthropology from The Ohio State University, and attended writing classes at Bowling Green, The New School and Binghamton University. He was a reader for The Broome Review, worked for many years as an editor and columnist with the Binghamton newspapers, and edited the first edition of the Power Sources Association's "Handbook of Standardized Terminology for the Power Sources Industry". When he's not playing around with the written word, he watches a lot of movies. He makes his living as a sales engineer; his favorite job was tending bar and drinking with Dodie Farr and Neil Gaydos at the Poetry Society headquarters in Earl's Court Square, London, England, in the early '70s. |
