A North Carolina native exiled in Detroit from 1974-1986, Paul Quick considers himself a southerners, but that's another story. He taught English in Charlotte and Durham public high schools after being education in fancy institutions. He moved to Athens to get a couple of graduate degrees and works at UGA, where he does what he can to help graduate students and faulty members improve their teaching. He also teaches a course in the literature of the United States, bicycles around town and country, runs, and goofs off with his 12-year old son.
