about the muse

Mike Johnsen began writing 40 years ago, and in 2003 refocused his efforts on poetry. He has published one collection of poems titled, Garage Sale. His poems have appeared in Between the Lines, and Clamor, a literary journal published by the University of Washington (Bothell). In August, he begins his third residency at the Rainier Writing Workshop’s MFA program, at Pacific Lutheran University.

His website, the seattle muse, focuses chiefly on unpublished authors (though an occasional published author slips in), and literary resources.

Mike reads at various venues throughout the Seattle area. His work is generally somber. His poems expose often unseen ironies of life. They are powerful, and intensely personal. And he has this thing about redheads.
