Ron Androla lives in Erie, Pennsylvania with his wife, Ann, who is also a writer. He feels blessed by her caring existence & editorial skills. Both attended
Franconia College in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 1975, & fell in love, but life didn’t reunite them until 1998 by pure, universal magic. Ron has been writing since the typewriter days of the ‘70’s, & his work was widely published in the underground small press paper world well into the ‘90’s when the Internet materialized under his fingers & poems went flying all over as electrons splashing the molecular depths. Ron & Ann barely scrape by at the edge of Amerika as relatively eccentric hermits in an old house along an old alley. Ron has two adult children, & Ann has one. Their four grandchildren range in ages from 12 to 3. “We knew freedom,” they agree, as children of the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, & some of the ‘70’s, “which is something the generations to follow won’t know as we did.” Ron has one real bottom tooth left in his mouth. He’s just realized he has written a lot of poems about teeth & toothaches over the decades. Smile. His website is
