David Ogle

David Ogle is a poet and free lance writer. He is a former mountain climber and traveler who has visited most of the places that he writes about in his wilderness oriented books. He has recently published a book titled "Wilderness Tales" which is available at Amazon. The book is a compendium of seven short stories about animals of diverse origins and habitats struggling to persevere in desperate circumstances in some of the darkest corners of the planet from the savannas of east Africa to the rain forests of the Amazon to the high Andes to the Congo River Basin among others, a journey into the minds and hearts of living beings trying to sustain their existence against improbable odds. Over the past ten years he has lived in Boise, Idaho with his teen age daughter during which time he has completed four other books all of which he plans to publish in the foreseeable future, to wit: 1. "San Francisco, A Book Of Poetry About The Underbelly Of The City By The Bay". 2. "Isquamal", a novel about a native Mongol living in the Arctic north who slowly descends into depravity as he seeks recourse to any means possible to insure his continued existence. 3. "In The Shadow Of The White Grizzly" a novel about the interaction and final conflict and denouement between a fur trapper, a Blackfoot Indian and a rare albino Grizzly in the 1800's in western America. 4. "A Difficult Way To Die" a fictional novel tracing the origin and spread of AIDS in San Francisco in the early 80's. He continues to live in Boise and continues as well to keep writing.
