Greg Zeck

Greg Zeck was born in Milwaukee in 1947 and grew up in the Twin Cities, the fourth of seven children of Robert E. Zeck, a lawyer, and Mary M. Zeck. He earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota (1969) and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin (1974). He taught college English in Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, and in Serbia as a Fulbright lecturer. In the 1980s he began a consultancy in freelance business communications. He's been married since 1970 to Jennifer Saltzman Zeck, with whom he has a son, Gabriel; a daughter-in-law, Heidi; and a grand-daughter, Ruby Mae. Since 2011 Greg and Jen have lived in retirement in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

With the help of a bequest from his late friend and poetic mentor, George T. (Ted) Wright, Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Minnesota, Greg has published two volumes of poetry and preparing more for the years to come.
