BIO: Born in rural New Hampshire, Chris Spark (a.k.a. Chris Dingman) graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Biology from Harvard, where he was vice-president of The Harvard Lampoon. While an undergraduate, he also began writing poetry and exploring myth, spirituality, and his own psyche. Since then, he has taught science and math, optioned a comedy screenplay to Warner Bros.—among other adventures in Hollywood—learned the guitar, started a band, and recorded three CDs of original songs. More recently, after way too much psychotherapy, Spark has returned to poetry and philosophy. One of Chris’s pieces was included, alongside those of John Updike and Conan O’Brien, in The Best of the Harvard Lampoon: 140 Years of American Humor. He is also a contributor to The American Bystander, which Newsweek called the last great humor magazine.” Chris’s books of poems include, The Morning I Married the Sky, and Free this Morning, both under the name Chris Dingman, as well as Advice for Me and Maybe You and The Truth Cannot Be Told in Prose: It Takes 101 Haiku, written under Chris Spark. He lives in the Bay Area in Northern California. http://sparkwrites.com
