Sometime this week, they say by Wednesday March 28, I will receive the URI alumni magazine, Quad Angles. In it will be a short, 300 word profile of me.
I sent in a notice of what I’m doing nowadays, including my writing on the side and having published Documenting America. I intended for this to go in the short notices of the listing of people arranged by class and what’s going on in their lives. The editor thought it was cool that an engineer would write a book and have literary aspirations, so she decided to have it be one of the short profiles.
The freelance writer they assigned it to looked over my website, saw that I wrote poetry, and so decided to focus more on that than on my prose pieces. So she gave it the title, “Engineer by Day, Poet by Night.” It’s a good profile, and it does mention DA. We’ll see what it does for sales.
As I’m writing this the profile is not yet up on the e-zine version of Quad Angles, but I assume it will be soon. Here’s the link, which should soon have it if it doesn’t when you click it.
Congratulations David! I read the Quad Angles article about you and am so impressed. I went to elementary school with you and remember that you were always smart and well spoken…and now well written also….Rosemary(Iaciofano)Rucker
Hi Rosemary. What a pleasure to hear from you! How long it seems since we danced together in the basement of Dutemple Elementary as Mr. Basso played what we now think of as the Oldies. Different jr. highs and different classes at CHSE, and we really haven’t connected much since Mrs. Fisk’s 6th grade class.
I’m glad you took time to look up the site and post. Let’s try to stay in touch.
