dennis-nils-drogseth
Dennis Nils Drogseth was born in Brooklyn, NY, and grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey and Woodstock, New York. His family, divided between Norway, on his father’s side, and Alabama on his mother’s side, facilitated many interesting visits and discussions that triggered a balanced interest in Europe and the United States. Dennis also lived for a year in Concepcion, Chile as a high school exchange student. He graduated from Yale with a degree in Chinese Studies, and is conversant in Norwegian, French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Russian. / The author ran a poetry workshop at Green Haven prison in Beekman, New York, in the 1970s, which provided the foundation for his one non-fiction work, “From Another World.” The experience also became a source of inspiration for committing to a life of writing against sometimes challenging odds. Dennis currently works as a technology analyst in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and is widely published in technology-related media.
