Michael K. White

Michael K. White (born July 4, 1961 in Pueblo, Colorado) is an American writer known mainly as being a founding member of the playwriting cooperative Broken Gopher Ink. For three decades Broken Gopher Ink’s plays were performed not only in New York City but around the country and in Europe.

White was an actively published poet in the 1980s and was deeply involved in the seminal “lit mag” movement which spawned today’s thriving e-zine scene. His fiction and essays can be found in numerous publications. [1][2][3][4] In 2006 the prestigious literary journal The Deepening[5] cyber published his novel “My Apartment”. That same year his story “13 Halloweens”[6] was chosen by Story South[7] as one of the ten best of 2006.

Broken Gopher Ink[8] was known not only for their off beat and quirky plays but for their rigid non-recognition ethic that for many years shielded White and his partners, Kyle J. Bunch, Pete Fadner and Matthew Lubich from public attention and scrutiny. Never revealing their names or configurations, Broken Gopher Ink stressed that their work should speak for itself. Their “mega-monologue play” “My Heart and The Real World” ran for almost two years continuously in New York City until 9/11. After that it was performed in the UK. Broken Gopher Ink has been silent since then. In August 2010 the Paragon Theatre in Denver staged a reading of Broken Gopher Ink's play "I Know That You Love Me." [9]

White, who resides in Colorado, is reportedly working on a collaborative novel titled “2028”[10] involving seven writers from four continents. In August of 2010 BluePrintPress published "My Apartment" in a signed, numbered limited edition "micro-novel." [11]
