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'd buy it. I WILL buy it.
OH GODDAMN YES!
Sorry. I got excited.
I feel bombarded by so much mediocre crap that I read on blogs. This is most excellent.
I had to start twice because I distrust dreams, but you had me by the throat at cool gritty surface. Don't know why exactly that's why or where, but that was it.
Now post the rest of it or hurry and get the danged thing published.
Bravo.
It's been a LONG time since I've been able to read a piece of fiction online without wanting to have a seizure.

I'll buy it too. I'm hooked. GREAT use of your summer vacation -- I can't wait to read more!
You learned magic! COOL!
Joking, joking, I saw the pre-poof though sadly didn't have enough time to read it all, but You Da Man for doing it and well.
