Biography:[1]

Richard F. Fleck once told Contemporary Authors: "The most significant events in my life were my marriage to my Irish wife, Maura, and our frequent visits to and six-month residence in Ireland. My experience in Ireland has linked together with my knowledge of American Indians to inspire two novels connecting Irish and Indian struggles for cultural liberation. My interest in Muir and Thoreau has led to scholarly investigations of their sources of inspiration that are similar to my own. Their sense of place has been particularly important to me. N. Scott Momaday and Leslie Silko are two Native American writers who have inspired me with a sense of place.

 

"As a Thoreau specialist, I was given the opportunity (along with my family) of living and teaching in Japan for one year.  'Sense of place' in Japan has inspired me greatly in my climbs of Mount Fuji and Miyajimayama, in my wanderings about the cities of Osaka and Tokyo, in my visits to the temples of Kyoto and Nara. During my stay in Japan I published poems in Mainichi Daily News, one of Japan's leading English- language newspapers, and in Poetry Nippon. Two island nations, Ireland and Japan, then have crystallized my artistic impulse."
