About the Poet

My name’s Adam Rubin­stein. I’m also a print designer for hire, copy­writer, edi­tor, recov­er­ing pub­lisher, ter­ri­ble dancer, veg­e­tar­ian, and a lover of chile, travel, and rare women.

I’ve been writ­ing since about age 11; words and I have an ever-​​increasingly com­plex rela­tion­ship, and recently I’ve put that to work as an edi­tor. My pub­li­ca­tion cred­its are few, which both­ers me none. I ran a small indie press from 2002 – 2009, and I design for print now. I’m a Leo who doesn’t much roar, I love Before Sun­rise and Die Hard, PJ Har­vey, early Skynyrd and early Liz Phair, and I’m not as well-​​read as my friends take me for. I don’t drink much, but I love my whiskys. I think most aca­d­e­mic texts are dan­ger­ously overwritten.

What's all this, then?

I’m writ­ing a book to under­stand my hometown’s dis­in­ter­est in its own his­tory, and my role in that. It’s sort of become a novel. This is the full story.

This is my play­ground. It reflects and pre­dicts what’s hap­pen­ing in the book.

Things I dis­cuss: East­ern Mass. his­tory, sto­ry­telling, book­mak­ing, time travel, poetry & nov­els, writ­ing craft, dreams, pub­lish­ing, indige­nous per­spec­tives, spir­i­tu­al­ity, sex, adop­tion and par­ent­ing, research, and what­ever I can’t get outta my head.
