Charles F. Thielman (charlesthielman)

Raised in Charleston, S.C., and Chicago, educated at red-bricked universities and on Chicago’s streets, I’ve worked as a youth counselor, truck driver, city bus driver and enthused bookstore clerk. Married on a Kauai beach in 2011, a loving Grandfather for five free spirits, my inspired work as Poet, Artiste and shareholder in an independent Bookstore’s collective continues! And not a few of my poems have been accepted by literary journals, such as The Pedestal, Poetry365, The Criterion [India], Poetry Salzburg [Austria], The Oyez Review, Battered Suitcase, Poetry Kanto [Japan], Open Road, Tiger’s Eye and Rusty Nail. My chapbook, “Into the Owl-Dreamed Night” is available through Uttered Chaos Press at www.utteredchaos.org
