David
Chorlton was born in Austria and grew up in Manchester, England, home of rain
and industry. He moved to Austria in 1971 to live in Vienna, where he developed
his work as an artist and began to write poetry. He used to travel often by train
around Europe to explore and to paint and first showed his art work in Austria.
After seven years there he moved to Phoenix (his wife's home city). Within a few
years he was publishing poems in small press magazines around the country and
individual collections followed, the contents in the more recent of them reflecting
his increased identification with the natural world. He continued to show paintings
and has given many readings of his poetry as well as occasional dramatic readings
outside that genre. He has many chapbooks, including Places You Can't Reach
and Another Word from Pudding House Publications; Common Sightings
from Palanquin Press; and Assimilation from Main Street Rag. The most recent
of his published books reflect his involvement with nature; they are Waiting
for the Quetzal (March Street Press) and The Porous Desert (FutureCycle
Press).
