{"id":22040,"count":1,"description":"Eric Ellingson: Because I do this all over the place, like there and there and with them and then and here. Because I was a bio bored being. Because I got tired of all those bio reality straws that only made reality suck more, so I wanted to spit something better into the reality drinks. Because here\u2019s a little stage on the screen that no one seemed to be using interesting. Because I left was all over the place. Because parts were left behind which I love. Because I don\u2019t think butterflies is quite the right way to describe what I\u2019m feeling, rather, pigs with horns and a penchant for not letting things go. Because I wanted to presto the geographer running the nature based conference into a part time poetry editor. Because I really do love having a 17 email exchange with 4 workshop organizers and 2 directors regarding if the bio is really a poem, and should a bio-poem be understood. Because you only gave me one day. Because most bios walk around trying to push all the reality doorbells\u2014ring ring, ding dong, ring ring. Because I want last time to activate these times this time. Because if you want you can find a bio bio at species of space dot you know what. Because I have a bio poem book going, but that\u2019s just bio logical. Because every chance should be a spot to squat a few choice lines. Because most bios just dead end their beautifuls with blah blah blah, and I think this here still seems better than saying I did this and this and that and that there and with that person (even though I love most of those people), and that person and back then and they said look he can do things. Because I want my bio poem to be nominated for the big poem prize, no. Because I still believe it is more important to know yourself than who you know. Because there is something else about me you should know. Because there is still something else about me you should know.","link":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/tag\/eric-ellingson\/","name":"Eric Ellingson","slug":"eric-ellingson","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/22040"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/9926"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/requited\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=22040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
