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.

I hear you!
I. Second. That.
At least you are just tired and not suffering from a stroke like Keillor. They say it was minor but any stroke is a stroke I beleive but then I am just a hypochondriac.
Hi Greg,
It's been a while since I've been around. I appreciate that you have checked my blog now and then. I have a favor to request from you and I hope that it won't be much trouble. I'm asking that you point your readers to my last two days of blog posts (9/11 & 9/12). It would be a great favor and much appreciated. I'm hoping to make a serious impact here and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the world may truely see some healing take place.
Thanks
and please get some rest and feel refreshed.
