Almost missed this one: 18 years on May 1, for which I am very grateful.
About Me
- Name: greg rappleye
- Location: Grand Haven, Michigan, United States
I am a writer who lives and works in West Michigan. I am a graduate of Albion College, the University of Michigan Law School, and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. I have published three full-length collections of poetry: Holding Down the Earth (Sky Books, 1995), A Path Between Houses (University of Wisconsin Press, 2000) which won the Brittingham Prize, and Figured Dark (University of Arkansas Press, 2007), which won the University of Arkansas Press Poetry Series. I have also published three chapbooks: Eros, Psyche and the Death of Narrative (Candle Creek Press, 2006), The Afterlight (WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2006), and The Divisible Field ( WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2008), and have completed a fourth manuscript, Tropical Landscape with Ten Hummingbirds. I am working on a novel. My work has received a Pushcart Prize, the Mississippi Review Prize, the Paumanok Poetry Prize, the Greensboro Review Literary Award in Poetry, and the Arts & Letters Prize. I was a Bread Loaf Fellow in 2002. When not writing, I work full-time as corporation counsel for a local government and also teach part-time in the English Department at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

Are you a friend of Bill W?
Principles before personalities!
Hahahahha!
God willing, it will be ten for me in August. Good stuff! Now, a word from your sponsor!
:P
Hey:
Congratulations!
18 years? With your young boys I'd thought you's been married less than that.
Congratulations!
Talia:
Not that anniversary; though I have a big one of those coming up.
Marcia and I will have been married 10 years on the day before Thanksgiving, 2008.
Seriously, I bet no one gave the marriage 10 months!
But they were oh-so wrong. So wrong.
