About Me

  • I am a diarist and have been featured here: moleskinerie: The Notebooks of Michael Pokocky http://www.moleskinerie.com/2008/04/the-notebooks-o.html

    I am a poet and have been quietly pursuing poetic moments most of my life.

    I am a writer with 11 novels written, but not published.

    I am a pro-print-is-not-dead advocate with a vast knowledge of the evolution of the internet and book publishing.
