“Not too much money in the poetry field, is there, son?” was all Joel Deutsch’s businessman father had to say when Joel proudly handed him a copy of the off-campus lit mag containing his first published poems. Since then, Deutsch has spent time in nearly every small town along the serpentine two-lane blacktop of the writing life road trip, from the insecure freedom of freelance journalism, to the cubicle asphyxiation of corporate communications and P.R, to an ill-fated, exasperating gig as a Hollywood screen writer for hire. Now he concentrates on crafting personal essays in which he tries to tees the meaning out of the places and situations he finds himself in, and serves as poetry editor for the online literary quarterly R-KV-R-Y.
