About Me
- Name: John A. Blackard
- Location: Portland, OR, United States
John Blackard has been influenced by the Voice of America, his love of all-night diner short order call-and-response, and his active participation in on-field baseball chatter. Inspite of these shortcomings, he has somehow managed to obtain advanced degrees in English Studies and Library & Information Studies; have a career in teaching and librarianship; and receive Fulbright and NEH fellowships. He currently lives with his wife, the poet Valentina Gnup, in Portland, Oregon.
