Autor: Robert Manns

Support
Robert Manns was born in Detroit, spent six years in New York where he received his first productions, moving later to Florida and eventually Atlanta. He wrote his first play when he was 19, his first poem when he was 21. He has taught dramaturgy at Emory University in Atlanta and, while director of Callanwolde Art Institute in that city, initiated the poetry readings still held today. Even before serving as field representative for the National Audubon Society, wildlife and environment had solidly manifested themselves in his writing.
