J. Linus Otto

I began writing poetry at the age of five, and have since written well over one thousand poems ranging in length from two syllables to about forty pages. Most of my poetry is adapted for stage performances but I would like to get a book published in the near future. My subject matter has remained pretty consistent all my life: human relationships and how we overcome conflict. My last series of published work was a project called Shadowgraphs, a column in Eau Claire's alternative press, where I promoted my progressive Christian perspective on reality. I am a poet first and foremost but I am also a certified social worker, a muscian (flute, trumpet, piano), and a great cook.
