Richard Loranger is a multi-genre writer, performer, voice artist, and all-around squeaky wheel currently residing in Oakland, CA. He has authored six books and ten chapbooks of poetry and flash prose, and wanders around the United States standing in front of people saying things. He loves the music of words spoken and on the page, sometimes to an unruly extent. Though a big fan of art and media, he recently decided to eliminate television from his life for a full year, just to see what it does to him. You can listen in here about that, and can read more about his work and scandals at http://richardloranger.com.
