BIO

James A. Gollata is Director of the Library Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Richland. He is also a drummer, a dreamer, an essayist, a writer of short stories, a book warrior and a literary provocateur. And he is a poet. Having written and published many haiku over the years, he has recently gone back to longer, but not much longer, forms of poetry. His most recurring themes are memory, relationships, and the ubiquity of absurdity. He believes that everything is a matter of belief, humor is paramount, and life is to be interpreted aesthetically. His poetry has been published in Voice of the River Valley, Howling Dog, 100 Words, Panassus Literary Journal (several issues), Moody Street Irregulars, Spoon River Quarterly, and several years of Wisconsin Poets' Calendars.
