Richard Risemberg
Richard Risemberg
Author · 1 books
Richard Risemberg was dragged to Los Angeles as a child, and has been working there in a number of vernacular occupations since his teens while writing poetry, articles, essays, and fiction, editing online 'zines, sneaking around with a camera trying to steal people's souls, and making a general nuisance of himself, which is his forte. He's survived long enough to become either a respected elder or a tedious old fart, depending on your point of view, and is still at it. It hasn't been easy for any of us.

After leaving Ithaca, Ricker spent two years living out of his car and traveling through the western United States with his dog Kamani. He settled in Reno, Nevada, where he currently resides.
