Born in LA, based in Prague, Lucien Zell lives at the edge "because that's where the views are." The author of four poetry collections, two novels, two children's books and over a hundred songs, Zell elects for the relative anonymity of life in European exile, preferring the luxury of blurry time and diffuse self-reflection to that of shiny cars and sharp clothes. The proud father of four exceptional children (fathered in three countries), Zell has performed his anti-Nazi ('Not See') salute of repopulating the Jews of Europe. To the shame of over-commercialized presses and editors, after twenty-five years of exile, TINY KITES is Zell's first American book.
