Greg Wilkovich (b. May 7, 1975) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and has spent most of his life in Maryland.

[edit] Early life and early poetry

Greg left the University of Maryland in 1997 with a B.A. in English. During his stay there, he had suffered two concussions from accidents. Though he did not receive a job at the English Company, Greg is said to write for as long as he can remain awake. He has been featured in numerous regional newspapers (Volume Magazine, You Could Do Worse, St. Pete Weekly), contributed to a handful of literary websites (WiredFiction.com, Thriftgoddess.com), co-created a now-defunct online literary forum (Junkmag.com) and authored several collections of poetry.

Each collection of poetry had a limited run of fifteen copies each: Mute (1996), Arbitrators (1997), Melange Baby (2000), The Ghost is Laughing at You (2000), Intake (2000) and Stupid If You Think About It (2001). Despite the more likely explanation of lack of funds, Wilkovich insists that he discontinued the series because he'd said "everything he has to say about ex-girlfriends and emo-pain."
