Eric Hoch
Eric Hoch lived his childhood in the Pacific Northwest. After college, he came east, and now resides in the Boston area. He writes short stories and has presented them live in the Boston area. He’s not been published before. He fell in love with the painter Rembrandt about 15 years ago, and has had extraordinary experiences with some of his paintings. Some of Rembrandt’s later self portraits have spoken to him, and much of Eric’s writing is an effort to honor Rembrandt and those experiences. The poems of Rumi and the stories of Hans Christian Andersen also give him deep inspiration.
