POETRY
Earth
Nature against us
Who can blame her
We live work love
Ignoring even
Destroying
Her way of life
We defile oceans
She smiles
Tsumani
We drill
She smirks
Oil spill
We mine
She spits
Cave in
Damn it
she's not giving up
Never has

About Me
- fishmonger in the desert
- Born in Paris, France in 1953. C3 grew up during the post-WWII reconstruction of Europe and the lingering devastation of the populace and landscape profoundly affected the young Coleman-Craig. The subsequent murder-suicide of his parents at the age of thirteen also moved C3 to try to understand the workings of the human soul during the most stressful of times, as well as, during the most mundane of times that somehow turn devastating despite our best efforts to stave off small intrusions into our increasingly less comfortable lives. He studied at Millikin University under Dan Guillory, at Southern Illinois University under John Gardner, as well as, at Duke University. He later studied with Katie Ford at the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife, Sarah Coleman-Craig.
