Charles Thielman is a Poet and Artiste, and a co-owner of an independent bookstore w/adjacent performance venue; which hosts readings, book-signings, fund-raisers and musical events. He has had works hung in galleries and published in journals.
Born and raised in Charleston, S.C., educated at red-brick colleges and on Chicago streets, He's worked as a corrections counselor, truck driver, big city bus driver and shiny shoe salesman. Nowadays, He aspires to be one of the best Grand-Fathers west of the Mississippi!
