The Otherground is a vast terrestrial expanse. It encompasses most all of the biosphere that lies beyond the total annexation of the triune world. It is that marginalized region where those exiled from the first, second, and third worlds go to get some thinking done, some soul-searching done, some work done. It is, by default, the fourth world: a world of intellect, of ethics, and of labor wherein the head, the heart, and the hands coexist in mutual respect and interdependence - and where the disenfranchised can go to openly eschew the megalomaniacal mandates of the mainstream. The author, born Josef Nyx in a now-abandoned hospital in Detroit, has been a factory-worker, janitor, burger-slinger, gas station attendant, parcel sorter/truck loader, sewage treatment plant worker, wastewater analyst/lab tech, science advisor/museum exhibits co-designer, technical writer, public school teacher, and field biologist. He has written more than 1,100 poems and song lyrics. He has lived in southern California since his early twenties and currently resides in a small town in The Mojave Desert.
