About the author
Dennis Monroe Clausen (November 1, 1943 – present) has been a Professor of American Literature and Creative Writing at the University of San Diego for over half a century and a published author since 1982. His novels, works of nonfiction, poems and essays are set in the small towns of his youth that are struggling to survive. More recent literary works are set in urban areas that seem to be harbingers of some future apocalypse as their growing homeless populations live and often die on the city streets.
