This is the website for Patrick Dixon, writer. That would be me. If you're here, I appreciate your visit, and encourage you to explore. I am a retired educator, a former commercial fisherman, and an ex-Alaskan who now lives in Olympia, Washington. These days I spend most of my time writing, photographing or editing photos (you can see samples of my work on my photography website, Patrick Dixon, Fine Art Photography).
I write essays, creative nonfiction and poetry. Mostly I love writing of any kind, and have had pieces published by FISH Publishing in Ireland, the Cirque Literary Journal, Raven Chronicles and Oberon Poetry magazine, as well as by several commercial fishing trade magazines. I was the editor of the seven-volume set of Anchored in Deep Water: The FisherPoets Anthology, published in 2014. In the summer of 2015 I won the Alabama State Poetry Society Morris Memorial chapbook competition. My memoir 'WAITING to DELIVER' about commercial fishing was published in 2022. My full-length collection of fishing poetry will be published in 2025 by MoonPath Press.
