Welcome to Redgunk

William R. Eakin pretty much began life at three months old, swinging in a hammock on a boat across the International Dateline to Guam and he has never stopped traveling. He went on to live and then to travel in very interesting places like Japan, India, Egypt, Austria, Poland, Germany, England, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, not to mention California, Texas, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and on and on. Guided by wonder and awe and a sense of real gratitude for it all, he learned from his father a love for watching sunsets from the eyes of typhoons and from his mom the tender care of family. He retired from teaching philosophy in 2020 and still travels especially to NYC, Chicago and Seattle, where his children make their homes, though he writes on a cliff above the river in Arkansas. And here he has been inspired to do his most published work.
