| Introduction | Don Hagelberg is an alcoholic and a drug addict. But alcohol metamorphosed into ink and the white dust of drugs became the color of the paper upon which he scribbles words to which he is now addicted. Poetry? Exit #13, The Oakland Tribune, and First Leaves. Short stories? New World Finn, Vintage Voices and The Berkeley Barb. Essays? Raivaaja, Axolotle and Veljeysviesti. He is one of the three poets in the chapbook anthology, Finnish American Poetry by Rauhala, Vartnaw and Hagelberg. He won third prize in the International Poetry Competition 2008, first prize in the Kippis competition 2009, and a Pushcart nomination in 2007 for the poem, “The Death of White Animals.” He has studied under Laura McKee at Stanford University and Kathryn Simmonds at Oxford University. His work has been heard on radio stations: KGO and KQED in San Francisco, KPFA in Berkeley, KSVY in Sonoma, and KHHO in Tacoma. Look for him on Redroom:> www.redroom.com <. |
