Bio


Levi Wagenmaker (1944 - ) is a retired journalist, living in the Netherlands for most of the year, and in France for some of it, with two bitches, one of whom a dog, and a younger male, something of a dog also. His poems have been published on line more than in print, and Google will tell the curious what, where, and when.

to find written there
