Mark Kirby received his B.A. from Oberlin College back in the days when heroin was harder to find than pot and sex didn't kill you. He is a drummer, screenwriter, and fixture in the bars and clubs of N.Y.'s Lower East Side and the current mecca of the New Bohemia, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
When not mining his past for the bizarre, weird and unseemly experiences that are the impetus of his short fiction, Kirby is hard at work writing paranoid, political rants and cultural criticism for various printed and online magazines such as Agree/Disagree, AltarNative, and Dream Forge online magazines. He is currently serving beers at various bars in Brooklyn and Manhattan, N.Y.
