Oregon native Greg Hamilton now lives
and writes in Colorado. He has written for the screen, including The
Movement (a 2012 Sundance Film Festival Official Selection).
His articles and columns have been published in Warren Miller's SnoWorld,
Frontier Airlines' Wild Blue Yonder, Park City Magazine,
CU-Boulder's Portfolio, and Mental Contagion; his
story "The Dance of Making Baby" won the Oregon Arts Foundation's
scholarship in creative writing; and so on and so on. Wouldn't you like
to know what Greg's into now? No? Alright then.
Greg's a well-heeled world traveler, having circled
the globe once and zigzagged quite a lot. He spent a decade with
Warren Miller Films after three or four years earning an anthropology
degree which followed four years of the usual high school
nerdiness, shaped by those nebulous childhood years which
featured a certain fondness for rodents.

Are you sure you don't want to visit the Ghost of
Greg's Present yet? No?! Alright then. That affinity for
furry creatures evolved into a pet rat, which spawned a State-finalist
speech on rats, then a column about bats, and all of a sudden Greg
became the neighborhood authority on the world's only flying mammals
and other such denizens of caves and burrows. Hence Airplane Mouse,
or hikoki nezumi, his early novice attempt at a Japanese
word for "bat."
Along the way Greg continued to hone his ability to divert otherwise
functional paragraphs, exasperating his readers so that they eventually
submit to his insistence that he explain what he's up to now. And that
would, of course, lead them to wade through Greg's bog
or visit his published clips. |
