Artie Isaac writes poetry, essays, and other notes in Yellow Springs, Ohio. He is the author of three chapbooks, THROW ME A BONE: POETRY FOR DOGS (2019), PANDEMONIA: POEMS IN SECLUSION (2020), and CHEERLEADING: A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT (2021). Raised in Ohio, Artie was trained in high school as a writer, improviser, and cheerleader. There has been little development since. In Ohio and New York City, Artie has worked in a variety of business fields, taught creativity and ethics, and questioned thousands of creative people. He is a thoughtful mediator and a reckless meditator. He hikes in the woods and wants to reduce needless suffering.
