(From the Preface): Gregg Eisenberg grew up writing poems in a Jewish household in Chicagoland where he learned how to feel a dissonant mixture of awkwardness and confidence about himself from some of the most loving people you could ever meet. When his childhood peers went off to Dartmouth, he went on an experimental writing journey across the deserts of Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. At the time he told his mother: “I’m a poet - anything else is extra.”

After months of circulating through dangerous countries and scribbling notes in remote border towns, he received an auspicious fortune cookie in a Chinese restaurant in the Arab quarter of the old-city of Jerusalem with a scarcely-known quote from the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu. This sparked his fascination with eastern thought and led him to study Asian language and literature at the University of California. There the coastal ecosystems and exposure to Taoist thought further riveted his imagination and forced him to take his exploration of aesthetics (and restless mind-syndrome) further. Songwriting became one of his passions, in a genre he developed and calls "Heavy Meadow". After working in China and then completing a Master’s in Geography at Boston University, Gregg moved to Colorado to continue writing music and working to protect the west’s fragile environments.

Gregg formed Curved-Space Comedy in 2016 and under that name performs his multi-media, science-comedy show "Even the Earth is Bipolar" in planetariums, publishes his books, and provides private speaking events. In 2018, he released two titles: "Letting Go Is All We Have to Hold Onto: Mind-Altering Jokes!", and "Love Without Madness" (Amor Sin Locura). In a somewhat radical return to his roots, he is currently writing a show he calls "Follow Your Bris" to perform in synagogues and smoky lounges around America.

“The desire to spread levity in the world weighs heavily upon me.” – Gregg Eisenberg
