Donald Motier was born in 1943 and graduated from college in 1970 with a BA in Philosophy and minor in English. He did graduate work in Philosophy on Being and Time by Martin Heidegger under the distinguished Professor Dr. Rudolph Fischer of Vienna, Austria. Following his academic career, Mr. Motier worked in the library field first as an interlibrary loan librarian at a public library from 1970-76, and as a genealogy and reference librarian at a State library 1977-1993 when he retired to write full time. In 1970, while still in college, he began writing prose-poetry in the style of Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, publishing his first collection Faces of Being in 1971. After publishing several collection of poetry, he began writing novels, nonfiction and two works of “faction” based on the Civil War experiences of his great-grandfather who met Abraham Lincoln and his family while bivouaced on the White House lawn 1861-62 and was befriended by the president’s son William “Willie” Wallace Lincoln. On The Trak is his 15th book. I really enjoyed On The Trak. The pursuit of so many encounters, appreciation of so many human souls along the way, was very Kerouacian. - Gerald Nicosia, author, first definitive biography of Kerouac, Memory Babe.
