Brian Dorn
From the time-honored village of Ballston Spa, NY, Brian Dorn has been publishing rhyming-poetry on the internet for several years. A graduate of The University of Albany and SUNY Adirondack, Brian has effectively leveraged cyberspace to circulate his clever wordplay throughout an increasingly paperless world. Thanks to the web, Brian Dorn’s poetry has reached an audience far beyond upstate NY. Brian has authored hundreds of poems, many of which can be found in his two-volume collection, From My Poems To Yours.
