charles finn: Charles Finn is the editor of High Desert Journal a literary and visual arts magazine out of Bend, Oregon. His book of micro-essays, Wild Delicate Seconds: 29 Wildlife Encounters will be published in the spring of 2012 by OSU Press. Before joining High Desert Journal Charles taught English as a foreign language in Hiroshima, Japan, hid out in the woods of British Columbia, Canada, learned the art of deconstruction in Potomac, Montana, and wrote. A self-taught woodworker and proponent of “living little” he lived for many years in an 8' x 12' cabin of his own making with no running water or electricity. During this time, he began A Room of One's Own, building “microhomes,” one-room wood cabins constructed entirely out of reclaimed lumber and materials he salvaged from taking down old barns and buildings. Originally from Vermont, he now lives in Elizabeth, New Jersey with his wife Joyce Mphande-Finn and their two cats Pushkin and Lutsa.
