About the Poet

David Chorlton grew up in England and later lived in Austria, before moving to Arizona in 1978. In Europe, he used to travel whenever he could on trains, which became a part of his subconscious life. He has a life in visual art, and has published his poetry in many magazines, as well as in a number of individual collections, including Return to Waking Life (Main Street Rag Publishing Company), Waiting for the Quetzal (March Street Press), and The Porous Desert (FutureCycle Press). Even in the desert, he has retained a sense of nostalgia for the railway terminals of old world cities.
