Neal Whitman

Neal Whitman lives in Pacific Grove, California with his wife, Elaine, where they retired in 2008 as professional educators. On the walkway to their front door is a stone tablet with the words of Henry David Thoreau in Latin: ex Orient lux, ex Occident frux. Indeed, Neal and Elaine grew up on the East Coast and their lives now blossom on the West Coast where his poetry and her photography are inspired by the air, land, and ocean of the Monterey Peninsula. In transition into retirement, Neal took up the writing of general poetry in 2005, adding haiku in 2008 and tanka in 2011. Much of his poetry in all forms has been informed by his work as a volunteer tour docent at poet Robinson Jeffers Tor House in Carmel, bereavement counselor for Hospice of the Central Coast, Monterey, and docent guide at Point Pinos Lighthouse in Pacific Grove. Neal is vice president of the United Haiku and Tanka Society, haiku editor of Pulse: Voices from the Heart of Medicine, and editorial board member of the Revista: Magazine of Romanian-Japanese Relationships.
