Paul Pintarich

(Consulting Editor -- The Orphanage Press)

Note:  Paul has just come on board, so his formal biography isn't on site, yet.  For twenty years, he worked at Oregon's newspaper of record, The Oregonian.  He started on  the police beat and ended up as the paper's acclaimed Literary Reviewer and Poetry Editor.   His name is known and respected internationally -- which is probably why his last book (on the wine industry) received a half page review in the New York Times.  And, probably why he was on the PhD Lit board of Portland State University, as well.
    In the opinion of this writer (and many others), Paul Pintarich is simply one of the finest writers, reviewers and editors ever to appear in this part of the world.
