Dick Altman

He grew up the son of a composer, in a household overflowing with words and music. Though he practiced piano three hours a day by age 11, his true passion turned out to be words. He earned a BA in English from Lafayette College and an MA from the University of Chicago. He wound up owning a New York City-based agency that created brand voices for Consumer and Corporate America. He writes from Santa Fe, NM, and has appeared in publications here and abroad. His first poetry collection, "Voices in the Heart of Stones", is being considered for publication.
