 Michael
Feil hails from small town Iowa. Faced with alternatives
of going to vocational school, college, or military conscription
during the Vietnam Conflict, his desire to study art was
not a priority on his parent’s
hit parade of vocations. They sent him to Chicago to study
electronics. Taken in by a band of discharged soldiers
and sailors, he was persuaded to join the Navy. The G.I.
Bill enabled art school, a painting mentor inspired him
to get a life, make art. He has supported himself with
day jobs as a corporate sales manager, capital equipment
salesman, new/used auto salesman and dealership owner,
a salesperson in advertising, publications, shirts, a truck
driver, truck owner/operator, factory worker, bartender,
cook, machinist, airplane mechanic. Painting, writing poetry
and fiction, he lives in suburbia. His work entitled Camping
in a Middle Class Pasture (Selected Poems 1971-1999) is
available for your free enjoyment here at I.P.C.
as part of our extensive free-to-read e-book
