Bio
Gerald Wagoner's childhood was divided between eastern Oregon and Montana. After earning a BA in creative writing, Gerald pursued a sculptor's life in Portland Oregon. He earned an MFA in sculpture at SUNY Albany NY, then moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1982. When New York City initiated shelter-in-place, mid-March of 2020, Gerald Wagoner continued his afternoon and nightly long walks. The poems are presented like diary entries, but are sequenced, using Gerald's private poetic logic.
