After receiving his master’s degree, Damian Nesdore has been a mathematician, a teacher in El Salvador, an editor for major publishing houses, and a publisher of magazines. He has written for numerous newspapers and magazines, has been published in poetry folios, and several of his plays have been produced including “A Herd of Hogs,” which won first place in the Philadelphia Writers’ Conference. Most recently, his play “The Director” was shortlisted for the annual BBC radio play competition. An accomplished musician, he played for the 4th Infantry Division Army Orchestra, sang in several operas, and performs on the piano. He also brings to his oil painting the same passion for exploring the conflicted human heart that inspires his poetry. A detail from his painting “Despair” appears on the cover of this folio.
