Harvey Goldner lives in Seattle, which is perhaps the world’s most beautiful city whenever the sun is shining, which it isn’t. His poems have appeared in various journals, print and online, in America and the U.K. His most recent chapbook, Her Bright Bottom, is available from Spankstra Press (Seattle); and a collection of his poems, The Resurrection of Bert Ringold, is forthcoming from Cinco Puntos Press (El Paso, TX) in the autumn of 2007.

In answer to our question of why he writes, Harvey responded:

“When I was a young wrogue I wrote because writing was an amusing activity to engage in while wrecovering from bouts of wripping & wroaring. And now that I’m an old wrat I like to write because writing distracts me from the wretched fact that I’m wrapidly wrotting.”
