Chris Spark is a writer, poet, photographer, and teacher whose work explores truth without regard for social convention or simplistic categories. A summa cum laude graduate of Harvard, Spark has spent a lifetime questioning the ways our culture divides up the world, both around and within us. Often called a renaissance man, Spark prefers the term coyote. Ignoring border crossings and skirting institutions, his essays roam freely through science, philosophy, psychology, myth, religion, the supernatural, and everyday life in search of wholeness. His poetry is a magpie blend of the irreverent, the sly, and the deeply tender. Born Chris Dingman, Spark began his writing career as a humorist at The Harvard Lampoon, and later became a comedy screenwriter and contributor to The American Bystander, which Newsweek called “the last great humor magazine.” His work has appeared alongside that of Conan O’Brien and John Updike in The Best of the Harvard Lampoon: 140 Years of American Humor. Poet laureate Billy Collins has written of Spark’s work: “He definitely has something going here: the quick take, unexpected turn-arounds, lots of playfulness… delightful in many instances.” Three of Spark’s poetry collections can be found under his given name, Chris Dingman.
