Translator, poet, cultural commentator, writer.

• He is also known by his literary pseudonym, Red Pine, is a translator of Chinese literary and religious texts – mainly Buddhism and Taoism.

• He was born in Los Angeles in 1943 and grew up in Northern Idaho. Following a tour in the US Army, he attended college at UC Santa Barbara and graduate school at Columbia University. Uninspired by the prospect of an academic career, he dropped out of Columbia halfway through a Ph.D. program in anthropology in 1972 and entered a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan. After four years with the monks and nuns, he struck out on his own and found employment with English language radio stations in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where he interviewed local dignitaries and produced more than a thousand programs about his travels in China.

• He was awarded the PEN West translation prize (for Zen Works of Stonehouse), and as a finalist for the same award (for Lao-Tzu’s).

• He currently lives in Port Townsend, Washington.
