Peter Maeck
Peter Maeck: "I am a writer of poetry, fiction, and stage plays. My plays and dance scenarios have been produced in New York, Europe, and Africa. My book-length poem Remembrance of Things Present: Making Peace with Dementia (Shanti Arts Publishing 2017) recounts my father's brave, good-humored struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. I have presented Remembrance of Things Present at multiple TEDx events and international mental health conferences. I am also a photographer, with work exhibited and sold in America and abroad. I served as an American Cultural Specialist for the U.S. State Department in Tanzania and Morocco. I have an MFA in Playwriting from Brandeis University." He recommends contributing to Help Sri Lanka through its PayPal address, evanmpls@q.com.
We are flooded
to our necks. Like fishing bobbers
we are floating on our backs down what,
before the storm, was Maple Street.
