Timothy J. Gort

Born in Lower Michigan, I moved to the Upper Peninsula in 2012, a few years after a life-altering event happened to one of my children. During the Pandemic, I lived on Florida’s Atlantic coast (it was fun until it wasn’t). Currently, I write from my home office in Oceanside, California.

In college, I fell in love with my partner, culture, and writing. In recent years, I have developed my voice in poetry and stories about fatherhood and caregiving while also uncovering my secret identity.

I surf, golf, pickleball, and climb with my rad teenage son when I'm not writing. He prefers scaling 5.10s and carving skateparks as I try to keep up.

 My partner of more than twenty years, Regina L. Gort, is also a wonderful poet and writer.
