***

Koehler on Koehler: I'm a long-time Chicago-based journalist, editor, teacher, public speaker, poet and fiction writer. I work as an editor at Tribune Media Services and am also nationally syndicated by TMS. I've won awards for my writing at the local, state and national levels, and generate intense reaction among readers (I've been thanked profusely, called a hero of democracy, had my life threatened and wished an inoperable brain tumor). A reader once called me "blatantly relevant" and I use that phrase as my byword every week. I write about politics from outside the Beltway and outside the unspoken assumptions of mainstream journalism. I see my column as a wedge of outrage into the mainstream media, a means of interrupting the conversation that accepts, as given, war, poverty, social inequity and environmental degradation. On my website, commonwonders.com, I describe the column as "part political brawl, part secular prayer." I have appeared in such newspapers as the San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Toronto Sun, Houston Chronicle, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Tallahassee Democrat, and many others. I am a widower and single father, with a daughter who is a senior in college. I am currently working on a book about the peace movement. I am active in the men's movement and an enthusiastic participant in the evolution of human consciousness.
