He currently teaches at Adler Graduate School. He was married for many years to Tamara Chaney Truer, who passed away in 2002. It was the onset of her breast cancer that first inspired a joint endeavor of her journal and his poetry about the path of healing. Alas, her death ended that project and Mr. Truer resumed the project on his own with this book. He re-married to Monica Schurtz and lives in Arizona.view less
