What’s Wrong

Gregg Friedberg grew up in Columbus, Ohio, but for many years has lived in Upper Sandusky, a rural county seat, and nowadays spends half of each year in Guanajuato, Mexico, where he participates in the bilingual arts-and-culture scene: gives regular readings and is coeditor of the bilingual literary journal La Presa published by Embajadoras Press. Professionally he’s been a partner in a computer software company, writing applications for Ohio county government, but has always written poetry, is happiest when writing sustained sequences like What’s Wrong: loosely but not conventionally narrative, treating a matrix of themes from an evolving perspective. The Best Seat Not in the House (Main Street Rag, 2010, Embajadoras Press 2017) examines the vexed relationship between Creator and creature, whether God and man or author and protagonist. Would You Be Made Whole?, a collection of unruly sonnets, was published in 2015 by Aldrich Press. A reprint of Would You Be Made Whole? was published
