Born the son of a nightclub singer, Mikel Weisser watched anti-war hippies getting beaten on TV during the Vietnam War and decided to devote his life to protest against unreasoning authority, but not to getting beaten. Though he spent almost two years traveling the country as a hitchhiker, Weisser has gone on to receive a Masters in Literature and a Masters in Secondary Education, publish hundreds of freelance magazine and newspaper articles and political commentary columns along with 7 books of poetry and short fiction. A former homeless shelter administrator, contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,and survivor of his first wife's suicide, Weisser teaches middle school US History and Constitution, is a member of the NORAZ poets and host of the Mohave Community College Documentary series, "A Liberal Education." He and his wife Beth were married at their home in So-Hi, Arizona and live with their daughter Victoria, numerous pets and have turned their property into a themepark for "peace and love and stuff." "When in AZ, visit the So-Hi Themepark!" OpEdNews Member for 75 week(s) and 2 day(s) 56 Articles, 3 Quick Links, 88 Comments, 20 Diaries, 0 Polls |
