Andrew Demcak is Director of Outreach Services for Oakland Public Library, which is a fancy way of saying that he drives the Bookmobile.   His poetry, essays, short stories and plays have been published and anthologized in various print and on-line publications.  He is currently a recipient of both California State's LSTA Grant for $5, 000.00 and The Urban Library Council's (ULC) Literary Scholars Award for $2,700.00.  His poetry is taught as part of the syllabus at both Ohio State University in two of its courses, English 110-11, "the Genius and the Madman," and English 245-01, "American Poetry Since 1945," and at Michigan State University in its "Modern American Poetry" course.   He is currently in pre-production of his screenplay "Site of the Sex," a comedy about French author/filmmaker Marguerite Duras, which begins filming in January 2007, from IFC/Oucinepo productions.
