Stephen Ellis was born of an outwash of local Trenton gravels, the result of the shifting of the Sangamon deposit which formed the Delaware, from whence he glanced blows with reflected starlight as it flowed through each throb of the Philadelphic night.
Educated to "bovine tuning" in your typical Meso-American chalk-encrusted blackboard stockyard, he came, he saw, he went away, and returned in 1973 as Patty Hearst. Since then, he has occupied various suites and rooms in New England and on the Hudson and Ohio rivers, as well as in, on and about the premises of Montreal, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, Cairo, Alexandria, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Damascus, Beirut, Merida, Paris, Amsterdam and Lisbon. He currently lives with Tashayu Sorkh, Bliss and Soleil, in a random sequence of undisclosed locations. From 1992-1996 he co-edited, with Stephen Dignazio, 26 issues of the little magazine :that:, and has, from 1994, been director of publications at Oasis Press. His books include The Long and Short of It (Spuyten Duyvil, 1999), Interface (Jensen/Daniels, 1999), White Gravity (PNY/MEB, 1999), and A Natural History of Suchness (Auguste Press, 2001).
