Michael's Interests
|
| General | Making poems, mostly formal (poetry blog here) and playing music. Evolutionary theory and epistemology. Voracious reader. More likley to remember what I've read than what I did earlier today. | | Music | Mostly plucked strings, mostly acoustic, but all genres. David Grisman's my hero.
I play as much as I can, with the Salamanders (mp3s here) when I was in North Carolina, with The Bakers Boys and with whoever will have me here in Maryland. I'm a mandolin slut. | | Movies | Seldom get to see them, except on DVD. But I love Casablanca, The Year of Living Dangerously, and Seven Samurai. | | Television | I'm incapable of ignoring the demon boxes when I'm in the same room with one, so I try to avoid them. But I loved Buffy and Wonderfalls. | | Books | Books are my life. Poetry, speculative fiction, cognitive science, and biology. Only with poetry am I halfway competent.
If it's near my birthday, I'm looking for these. | | Heroes | Charles Darwin, Richard Wilbur, Samuel Johnson, Bertrand Russell, Anthony Hecht, Robert Frost. Shakespeare and Newton and Goethe and Bach. |

Michael's Blurbs |
About me:
Poet and mandolinist, with two teenaged stepdaughters I love and a lost daughter, Lee Banks Snider. Let me know how she's doing if you know her.
Right now playing music with The Bakers Boys, living in St. Mary's County, MD, writing software for the Navy, and building myself a new life — my fourth at least. My online home is here.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Charles Darwin and George Gordon, Lord Byron. Since they're dead, I'd settle for Richard Wilbur or Alison Brown.
