About Tim Verhaegen:
Tim Verhaegen has been living in the Capital District for almost thirty years. He writes business letters as an insurance regulator by day. He’s a poetry and prose writer at night. His poems have been published in “Poetry Don’t Pump Gas” and “Many Waters”. His poetry often targets the intimate stories of his own life and the stories of the people closest to him. He’s a collector of toy cars, toy animals and other figurines. He’s been accused all his life of being a “people collector”. His two mottos are “I’m on this earth to learn, I’m on this earth to love.”
