Ukrainian. Born 1960. He shows up slapdash, as if he had fallen through a trapdoor. He is a snapping turtle and garners a box of sparkplugs.
Young Gide came to America as a young man. He was a Cub Scout and attended high school in Brooklyn. He dropped out of high school to write for the racing forms and he learned the business from top to bottom before embarking on his own paper.
His journal, the weekly Associationalist Bugle has from 1981 been supplying AA poets with the coded messages they sometimes need to kick start their work.
It is his consuming passion, though in the Nineties he took some time off to work in televison in his native Ukraine. He also writes descriptions of films on a freelance basis.
He currently resides in Prague.
Famous for his palindromes, such as Daedalus: nine, Peninsula: dead or, more simply, Poop.
He was confidant and frequent visitor of Verna Cable in what were to be her last days.
