HI, I’M BRUCE MULKEY.



In an earlier incarnation, I was a hyper-masculine, self-indulgent,
beer-swilling  rebel (without much of a cause). Having miraculously survived
that era, I am now an open-minded, relentlessly inquisitive, politically
progressive essayist and author. I live with my wife Shonnie Lavender and our
daughter Gracelyn (largely outside the dominant cultural paradigm) in the
eclectic little city of Asheville, North Carolina.


More About Me





ABOUT BRUCE MULKEY





I have contributed to The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Medium, OpEd
News, SelfGrowth.com, The Good Men Project, and The ManKind Project. From 2000
through 2004, I served as an editorial columnist at the Asheville Citizen-Times.
My op-eds and essays have also appeared at such online sites as
MichaelMoore.com, Common Dreams News Center, Intervention Magazine, Information
Clearing House, Truthout, BuzzFlash.com, and Smirking Chimp.

I’ve dealt with topics ranging from racism (and my ongoing recovery from it), my
brief encounter with Norman Mailer (“Are you still stabbing your wife?”),
opposition to the Iraq War (“A few illogical arguments for the elimination of
Saddam Hussein” published before the war began), Al Gore (not the stuffed shirt
you might imagine) and the perils of climate change, my seventieth birthday
(It’s not that I mind growing old; I just don’t want to be there when it
happens.), spanking (and its unintended consequences), why I gave up my last
handgun (after my wife asked me the simple question: “What are you afraid of,
Bruce?”), trail running in the southern Appalachians, and fatherhood at
sixty-seven.

I have appeared on two PBS shows—Bill Moyer’s Now (my fifteen seconds of fame)
and Simple Living and in The Christian Science Monitor, the Boston Globe,
The Washington Post, and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (among others).  In
addition, my wife Shonnie and I did an interview for NPR’s Story Corp in 2009,
and I recently pitched the first episode of my podcast to This American Life. I
also served as a presenter for the Climate Project, Al Gore’s initial effort to
catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis (where I had the opportunity
to experience Al in his element).

In 2008, at the age of sixty-five, I was hired as an Obama field organizer in
Ohio (even though my boss and our entire staff were in their twenties). After
that, I served as campaign manager for several progressive political campaigns
including two congressional races (four wins, one loss). During the 1990s, I
wrote for Holt, Rinehart and Winston’s high school textbook division (my first
real writing gig). I am now writing a memoir which I intend to complete by the
end of 2024.

I currently spend much of my time writing, playing handball, trail running with
my wife Shonnie, joining my family in Wordle and Connections, and doing my best
to keep up with our high-spirited, fiercely independent thirteen-year-old
daughter on the meandering footpaths of the southern Appalachians.

TODAY, MAY 30, IS OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY!

May 30, 2024

Happy 25th anniversary, my darling Shonnie. We’ve created a wonderful life
together filled with love, intentionality and adventure, and I look forward to
the next 25  (when I’ll only [...]
