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.
