Michael Lyons

Michael Lyons, moon child, born on the last day of June, in Montreal, of French / Irish / Scotch ancestry. Immigrated to America, grew up in San Antonio, to experience a second linguistical minority.

He now lives in San Francisco with wife and son. Lyons has authored a dozen literary books: 8 novels, a memoir, several scattered poetry chapbooks; and several dozen technical books.

He is working on the last novel of a sextet called “My Years of Apprenticeship at Love.”

These in order are: Sex is the Antigravity of Metamorphosis, The Indigenous Tribesmen of Neverland, Dolores Park, Seeing through the Spell of Transference, A Blue Moon in August, Thoughts on Vacation.

Rich in content, these works eschew mindless suspense and the juvenile hero-worship plot for a more lyrical joyous expression. Love is an apprenticeship to the sign system of the beloved. What else is a poet going to write about?

Previously he wrote the trilogy called “Little House on the Prairie”

These in order are: Cultivating the Texas Twister Hybrid, The Secret of the Cicadas’s Song, Knight of a 1000 eyes.

These are lyrical boho novels set in Texas.

He has also written The Punctual Actual Weekly about a theatre ensemble in Berkeley and a literary magazine.
