George E. Clark
I work at Harvard’s Lamont Library and the Harvard Map Collection, occasionally filling in at Widener Library. I help people with questions related to the environment, government publications, maps, and general research. I am also a writer, with a recent success as one of the winners of the Concord Poetry Center / Fruitlands Museum Plein Air Poetry competition, with a winners’ chapbook in the works. See upcoming events at http://www.concordpoetry.org. In prose, I write for publications such as Environment and The Resource, Harvard’s internal HR newsletter, as well as the occasional academic book review. For details on my work, click here. I also write song texts, and I recently started learning the resonator guitar (Dobro).
I grew up in northern Virginia, and my family hails from that state’s Shenandoah Valley. I studied at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana and have graduate degrees from Simmons College (Boston, MA), Clark University (Worcester, MA), and the University of Chicago. I live with my family where the suburbs meet the country west of Boston.
