Michael Sikkema has worked in factories, food service, landscaping and other wondrous endeavors. He went into debt to add letters after his name but managed to escape to the outskirts of the institution where the light is a little better and at least the pay is poor. He has published several chapbooks and collaborative chapbooks and 3 full length books which you can learn about via internet search engines.
