Tom Charles Bair III

Tom’s guiding interest is innovation. Whether in performance, poetry, fiction, essay, or combinations thereof, his work tries to find an imaginative frontier worth exploring. This/These path/paths have led him to games; his thesis at the University of Pittsburgh will be a work of interactive fiction set in near-future New York City during the live broadcast of a fictional reality TV show. Poems, stories, and essays have appeared in Provincetown Arts, The Chronogram, thethepoetry, and Circus Book, but his most developed work to date is Prophets Four Profits, a work of transmedia storytelling that can be found at ProphetsFourProfits.com. His first co-authored comic book series entitled Panacean is forthcoming from Odd Light Comics. He lives in Pittsburgh (duh) with his partner and his dog.
