- William Carlos Williams.

I鈥檝e been a writer since the seventh grade when I discovered with the help of a wonderful teacher the power and beauty of words. Since then I have looked at writing as my calling. I grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, raised by my mother in a double, bungalow (what I lovingly refer to as 鈥渉alf-a-house鈥�), surrounded by endless rows of small houses, bowling alleys, ponds, woods, malls, gas stations and strip malls and this suburban jungle informs all of my work.

David鈥檚 Quotes

“Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates.

― Ernest Hemingway
