Russell Bittner lives and writes on a tiny clod of an island off the East Coast of the United States. The island is called ‘Long’ and his borough is called ‘Brooklyn.’ Like Hobbes, he believes that “life is short, brutish and nasty.” He also believes, however, that art is long; and, with Donne, that no man is one, entire of itself – either an island or a work of art.
His prose, poetry and photography have been widely published both in print and on the Net.
