Every summer afternoon he shagged fly balls with a friend, hiked the woods and back roads with his dog, and played along the brook and among the lumber stacks on his grandfather’s small farm. He came to know the land closely, as a friend, as a child creating his own adventures is apt to do.
After college and a long (but not professional) summer-time baseball career, after decades of teaching English and helping students learn to write, after publishing in The Washington Post, Potomac Review, Yankee Magazine, Hartford Courant, Prometheus, The 4th edition of The Fireside Book of Baseball, and The Athletic Journal--all the experiences and travels, poems and stories, fused into the story of Cully and Doc, the children of the wind.
Ed lives now in Garrett Park, Maryland, with his wife Ann, and their large Newfoundland-golden retriever Ballou.view less
