Bio
Wm. Rike has been a transient, a conflicted soldier, a melefactor, an ascetic, and a legal clerk. Through these various phases, he has always remained a contemplative and a poet. He now lives a comparatively normalized life with his wife, Liz, in Eugene, Oregon, where he attends Lane Community College. He has been creating, un-creating, and re-creating the same poem cycle for seventeen years, and he hopes that, one day, it/he will be perfected. (Laughter/Screams)
