Don Riggs
Don Riggs has written verse since sixth grade. Influenced by the Beats and sonnet traditions, he integrates his drawing and words. Don has been writing a daily 14-line poem for over a decade now. “This focus on the purely formal allows my subconscious mind to feed me whatever inspiration it will; I go through my daily texts and cull the few that appeal to me, printing up only the best of those, and then selecting out of those the poems that I, at last, feel good about.” Don teaches first-year writing, Science Fiction, and related courses through Drexel University.
