Hugh Fox was born in Chicago in 1932. He fell ill with polio at age four, recovered, then spent a childhood immersed in the arts with Viennese singing professor Zerlina Muhlman Metzger and the All Childrens’ Grand Opera group, and violin and composition with violinist-composer P. Marinus Paulson. Fox was pushed into pre-med and medicine by his M.D. father, changed careers, and got a Ph.D.in American Literature from the University of Illinois. He taught for ten years at Loyola University in L.A., then thirty years at Michigan State University. He held Fulbright professorships for two years in Caracas, then spent one year at the University of Hermosillo in Mexico, two years at the University of Santa Catarina in Brazil, a year studying Latin American literature at the University of Buenos Aires, and a year as an archaeologist on an OAS grant (after his first book on archaeology came out) in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Fox has been married to a Brazilian M.D. for the last 30 years. He has had 103 books published. The next ones out will be Rediscovering America and the Collected Poetry (WorldAudience, NYC), La Paix/Peace (Higganum Hill Press), and Ghosts (Green Panda Press).
