| Introduction | As an author of 10 scholarly books and hundreds of articles and book chapters, I'm well established in the music history world, with two main specializations: Polish music of the 19th and 20th centuries, and 20th-century contemporary music. The President of California State Poetry Society, I have published over 400 poems in journals and anthologies. I also wrote six volumes of poems and edited five poetry anthologies. I'm the Managing Editor of "California Quarterly," President of Moonrise Press, and I have spent over 30 years volunteering for Polish American organizations, e.g. as the President of the Modjeska Club, or Board Secretary of Polish American Historical Association. I belong to the American Musicological Society, and the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences. My Moonrise Press published 36 books of poetry and music history. I received fellowships and awards from Canadian, American, and Polish governments, USC, PAHA, and American Council of Learned Societies. In 2016, I received PAHA's Creative Arts Prize for two books of poems inspired by WWII experiences of Polish civilians and children. In October 2026, my blogs reached combined readership of over 3,127,000 |
