After 26 years of(sometime) stupidity, venality and bureaucracy, I finally decided last week that I could no longer work for corporate America. I resigned, they paid me my notice without my working it out, and I am now a free agent.

I'm now going to make my living doing something I love, something I have done in my off-time over the past few years - poetry mentoring and critique. I've already built my website, and I will be (hopefully!) taking on additional students over the coming weeks and months.

This is the most exciting, ballsy thing I've done since I made my last career-change 26 years ago - and I am almost ecstatic about the fact that I will never again have to "go ahead and fill out my TPS reports."  

I was a free man in Paris

I felt unfettered and alive...

My new website is here: http://alexgrant.webs.com/

Peace...
