Justin Scott Van Kleeck

Bookworm and Nature Boy, writer and reveler, scholar and spiritual seeker--these are me more or less in a nutshell. I find personal nourishment in the wonders of the human mind and the wonders of Mother Nature--and the wonders of the two coming together. I enjoy wandering my way through books and through forests; I enjoy scaling the mountains of mind and plumbing the depths of the heart, be it through the written word or in the natural world. I was born in Virginia Beach and have lived in my native state for my entire life. I have a PhD in English from the University of Virginia and currently live in Charlottesville.
