1995Quotations: "Because I am by aesthetic bent most engaged by new ways of seeing and ecumenical approaches to self-expression, I stand four-square for innovation, personal idiosyncracy, and mongrel forms in all the arts, and would hope those same qualities are apparent in my own work. In writing Raising Holy Hell, I discovered that there exist rifts along which facets of fact and fancy, history and fiction clash and collide, and began gradually to recognize that there often is a synergy arisen of those rifts that can be employed to creative effect — structurally, typographically, syntactically."
Bruce Olds married Susan Silkwood, a newspaper editor, on June 9, 1980. They have one son, Bryce.
