For thirty-nine years, Michael Kramer has day-lighted as a high school English teacher. He has served as a consultant and presenter on the English curriculum and the teaching of writing and poetry. He has advised the perennial award-winning high school literary magazine, King Author. His work has seen light in a number of anthologies and been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Kramer has been married to the ever-inspirational Rebecca for longer than he’s been teaching; together they have raised four remarkable children. His collection of short stories in verse Hopeless Cases (Moon Tide Press, 2011) continues to sell well - check it out on Amazon.
