Doug Stanfield

Doug Stanfield grew up on a family farm in western Ohio. That childhood was marked by early exposure to life in all of its faces, from birth and death and everything in between. The family moved overseas for a couple of years when he was in high school, and he has moved around quite a bit since. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including being a newspaper reporter and editor, and a public relations cog, but is trying to atone for his sins with poetry that tells stories, and stories that read like poems.

His desire to write generally, and poetry in particular, never went away, and when the sons were off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer, stared at the screen for a long time, and began it all again.

Doug lives in central Pennsylvania with his wife and dog and an unhealthy obsession with politics, murder mysteries, science fiction and travel.
