| About Larry O. Dean |
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Larry O. Dean was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. As a young man he worked with Academy Award-winning film maker, Michael Moore, was widely published in the alternative press and also worked as a cartoonist. He attended the University of Michigan at Flint and Ann Arbor, during which time he won three Hopwood Awards in Creative Writing, an honor shared with fellow poets Robert Hayden, Jane Kenyon, and Frank O'Hara, among others. Since then, his work has been widely published and anthologized; his most recent book, I Am Spam, is a collection of poems 'inspired' by spam email. In 2004, he was recipient of the Hands on Stanzas Gwendolyn Brooks Award.
In addition to writing, he is a singer and songwriter, working both solo as well as with several pop bands, including Post Office, The Me Decade, and currently, The Injured Parties. His releases include Throw the Lions to the Christians, Sir Slob, Fables in Slang (with Post Office, produced by Chris Stamey) of The dB's and Gentrification Is Theft with The Me Decade.
The Injured Parties' debut, produced by Mark Nevers in Nashville and Chicago, is due later in 2008.
