D.W. Lichtenberg
is a writer, a filmmaker, a caffeine addict, and an obsessive cleaner. He is the author of THE ANCIENT BOOK OF HIP, an exploration into the phenomenon of hip, out on Fourteen Hills Press. He's designed this website to be more than just the typical author site. If you look hard enough, you'll find a wealth of literary content that can't be found in any of his published writing. He also keeps an often-updated blog called SHE WAS ROMANTIC BEFORE YOU REALLY GOT TO KNOW HER.


"D.W. Lichtenberg writes poems that admirably resist the urge to sound poetic."
- Elaine Equi, author of RIPPLE EFFECT
