Bio
Myquest, 72, lives near Sacramento with his wife of 45 years, Eva. Raised in North Central Illinois, he packed in a life as a science fiction writer when his first story sale netted forty dollars' worth of pancake flour to live on. Despite the fun of
workshopping with Harlan Ellison, George RR Martin, and Gene Wolfe, he found a finance career easier to put a family budget to. Retired 17 years now, his poetry can be found alongside Ferlinghetti, Hirshman, Patti Smith, and other poets across the U.S.
In the Press
Saw this {Selected Poems} live - what a collection of incredible experiences with insightful, provocative phrasing that puts you inside looking out.
--R. Lowry
In its own way, Death Valley Days is as original as Gerard Hopkins, T.S. Eliot and Dylan Thomas. ...Myquest takes us into the heart of a truly fresh energy with the everyday language we are used to...
--Zoe Keithley
