Charles Plymell was born in a converted chicken coop in Holcomb, Kansas in 1935, the same year as Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, but neither of them were born in a dust storm, and neither them had a mother who went out and shot rabbits and gathered cactus for food. He comes from a unique set of circumstances. Plymell can trace his family origins to the settlers of the Jamestown, Virginia colony and to the indigenous Cherokee tribes who were forced from their homes and into Oklahoma Territory. He recited his first poem at age 4, in the back of a truck on his way to California. At age 15, Plymell left high school in San Antonio, Texas in a new 1951 Chevrolet his dad bought for him and drove it back to Wichita, Kansas. As he recalls it, "That fall, I was about to go into my sophomore year, but then I woke up. I had a new car, gas was 15[ a gallon. I could lie about my age, get a job anywhere and start doing anything I wanted. I put that high school in my rear-view mirror. There was nothing there, just a bunch of squares playing football." Plymell got jobs working on post-war "infrastructure" projects across the American West, building roads, pipelines and dams. He also fell into the jazz/R&B club scene in Wichita, a place fueled by Benzedrine, brimming with new fashions and a new sound. A night in jail with artist friend Bob Branaman led Plymell to take classes at Wichita University, which connected him to a new set of cohorts who later became part of the San Francisco art and poetry scene. When he moved to San Francisco in 1962, Plymell took over the lease on a seven-bedroom flat on Gough Street, previously home to a series of Wichita writers and also the place where Allen Ginsberg had written "Howl". A house party, some meth, some LSD, and Plymell soon found himself welcoming Ginsberg and Neal Cassady into his world as his new roommates, as they set about writing out Cassady's memoir "The First Third" under the supervision of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Plymell's knowledge of printing led him to create a series of underground magazines while he was in San Francisco, including Zap Comics with R. Crumb and Now with Philip Whalen, and Glenn Todd. At the same time, Plymell was making himself known as a writer, with David Haselwood's Auerhahn Press publishing his poem "Apocalypse Rose" in 1967. While working on the docks in 1969, Plymell was recruited by two students of Eliott Coleman's to go to Coleman's famed writing seminars at Johns Hopkins University. After arriving in Baltimore, Plymell began work on Last of the Mocassins as his Masters' thesis. His degree led Plymell into a teaching career, where he provided guidance on literature and writing at various East Coast colleges and prisons, while also collaborating with John Giorno to produce The Trashing of America, a now rare and much-sought after poetry collection. A road trip to Cherry Valley, New York, to the northeast of Cooperstown, led Plymell to buy property there in the early 1970s. After settling into the store buildings where Samuel Morse first created his code, he continued to print and publish underground magazines featuring the work of his friends and visitors, including Roxie Powell, Charles Henri Ford, Joshua Norton, Carl Solomon, William Burroughs, James Grauerholz, Gerard Malanga, and Mary Beach. Today, at 88, Plymell still lives in Cherry Valley with his wife, Pam, and a menagerie of feral cats. He stays in contact with people around the world, and encourages independent thinking, daily, by email.

"I turn slowly toward her, and that thin frail hope that I'd held onto... the hope that I could sate the demon raging within me and cool off my simmering rage by hacking up Gregor... that I could spare Mina my evil tonight... that hope is gone. What will I do when I catch this little rabbit?"The events of Halloween haunt me. I can't get them out of my head.I wanted to remove Mina from this world. But it wasn't me... I don't want her gone. I'm not some crazed jealous abusive boyfriend. I wasn't mad at her. I know she did nothing wrong.It was the wild in me. The dark in me. It was the other, the something else that isn't me, the broken shards of what I became so long ago.The animal. The monster. That inhuman thing.There is no saving me.

If you're new to this couple please start with book 2 in the Pleasure House series, BROKEN DOLLS (the books in the pleasure house world can all be read as standalones.)

No Longer Water is a collection of poems welcoming raw emotion regarding the process of aging mindfully into a truer self.

The American public was totally unaware of the real events that took place during the Vietnam War. The media sometimes exaggerates the facts about the battles and missions. I feel sure that most of the fighting soldiers in Vietnam did not write home and give all the details about their daily lives in combat. Fear and guilt are two things that most people would not want to share with friends and loved ones. The names used in this book are fictional, and the dates and places may not be totally accurate. The events of the missions and battles have been preserved through memories and battle-scarred flashbacks. I pray that this book will open the eyes to the American people about the real Vietnam War and what the combat soldiers endured for them. Maybe today's children will look at the American flag with pride and appreciate its past warriors.
