Tony Litwinko

After teaching Victorian literature and writing, and publishing some poetry, Tony Litwinko aka AJ Litwinko left academia in 1979 and reluctantly moved to California, where he remains until today. He made a career in the insurance and risk management field, retiring early in 2006 when he became active in the peace and justice movement, traveling in the Middle East and Europe, and studying modern history. When he’s not cooking, reading, loving his daughters and wife, family and friends, he records the injustice and devastation in the occasional poem or essay, draws or sketches in ink, and works in fits and starts on a memoir.
