Hopefully you will enjoy your visit to my poetry site and come away with some insights about how my mind works. That sounds scary. Following is a potted biography and some links to other works of mine elsewhere.
Chris’s poetry has been published in Poet Lore, Lite, Maryland Poetry Review, Smoke, and Bogg, and online at Crescent Moon Journal, Electric Acorn, Melic Review, Painted Moon Review, Pierian Springs, the poetry (WORM), and Web Del Sol Review. Chris is the Editor of Desert Moon Review http://www.thedesertmoonreview.com/ and co-editor, with Jim Doss and Dan Cuddy, of the electronic and print magazine Loch Raven Review, http://www.lochravenreview.net/. Chris also has a blog at http://christophertgeorge.blogspot.com/ and a Flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/christophertgeorge. Chris’s poetry is featured in Poets Gone Wild: An Internet Anthology from Wild Poetry Press (2005) and at The Hypertexts, http://www.thehypertexts.com/. He is also the lyricist for Jack — The Musical, written with French composer Erik Sitbon (CD available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/asu3), and he is an editor at Ripperologist magazine published in the UK, http://www.ripperologist.biz. Chris is the founding editor of the Journal of the War of 1812 published by the War of 1812 Consortium and an organizer of the Consortium’s symposium series. He is the author of Baltimore Close Up from Arcadia Publishers (1998) and Terror on the Chesapeake: The War of 1812 on the Bay from White Mane Publishers (2000). Chris is now working with historian Dr. John McCavitt of Rostrevor, Northern Ireland, on a biography of Major General Robert Ross (1766-1814). Ross was the British commander who captured Washington, D.C., on August 24, 1814, and who was killed three weeks later during the attack on Baltimore. Through his detention of Upper Marlboro physician Dr. William Beanes, Ross was instrumental in bringing about the writing by Georgetown lawyer Francis Scott Key of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Visit the new website “The Man Who Captured Washington — General Robert Ross” at http://www.themanwhocapturedwashington.com. Chris is finalizing work on a new book, A to Z of Jack the Ripper and the Jews: Aarons to Zverieff, to be published by Loch Raven Press in 2010.
