Eric Walter received a BA in Theater from Reed College in 1983 and spent many years working as an actor, director, and producer in Oregon, North Carolina, and Colorado. He began writing poetry while attending a workshop at Duke University in 1992. Since then he has published seven books, the most recent being With Flowers of Jade. These far-ranging collections of poetry and short prose describe the author's travels in diverse landscapes, from arctic Alaska to the jungles of Yucatán, from the shores of the Peloponnese to the ruins of Angkor. As a musician, Walter has performed with numerous bands and eclectic ensembles including The Search, The Open Rangers, The BarnDogs, Jawbone, Switchback, and Blue Holler Boys. Walter is co-founding member of the acclaimed acoustic ensemble, Indalo Wind. He has produced two solo albums of instrumental music (Ruin Sky and Hawk's Reply) and created soundtracks for theater, dance, video, and spoken-word projects. Walter shares his love of language and the performing arts as a volunteer teacher. He has performed and taught at schools in Cambodia, Laos, and in his home state of Oregon (USA). In January of 2020, Walter lost the love of his life, his wife Nikki, to an aggressive cancer of unknown origin. He lives alone in the Ash Creek watershed in Tigard, Oregon.
