UMichael Horvitz- Bio & Imvelaphi Wazalwa ngo-1953 ngexesha leqhwa kwizibuko lokuloba iminenga elidumileyo [Herman Melville] laseNew Bedford, Mass. Usapho lwafudukela eSan Diego ngasekupheleni kwaloo nyaka, ndinamava amancinci okanye angenawo omnenga Ndichithe ixesha lam lobuntwana lifunda iincwadi ezihlekisayo. , ukudlala ibhola kunye nabantakwethu kunye nabahlobo bam, kunye nokuhla kwi-canyons ukubamba iinyoka kunye namacikilishe, le yokugqibela isimboli yesimo phakathi kweqela le-esoteric lamakhwenkwe. Ndifuna ukuba ngugqirha, ngokuzithandela kwaye ngokuhambelana neminqweno kaMakhulu wam. Ndithathe ipiyano xa ndineminyaka eyi-10.  Ubukhulu becala wayedlala iziqwenga ezidumileyo zomculo we-’40s owaqokelelwa ngumama. Wayedla ngokucula kanye xa ndidlala, nto leyo eyayindivuyisa. Kamva, ndaqalisa ukudlala iziqwenga zeklasiki, ingakumbi ukonwabela uDebussy, uChopin, uBeethoven noMozart. Nditshintshe umdla wam kwisayensi [ingakumbi inzululwazi ngeenkwenkwezi] emva kwamava amnandi eklasini notitshala wam wesayensi webanga lesi-8 [uMnu. Jack Beverly]. Nditshintshe umdla wam waba yibhayoloji emva kwamava amnandi nanomdla eklasini kunye notitshala wam wesayensi webanga le-11 nele-12 [Mnu. George Jones]. Ufunde iZoology eSDSU phantsi konjingalwazi olunge kakhulu kwaye onempembelelo [uGqr. Jason Lillegraven]. Ndisebenze kwiofisi yerhafu yengeniso katata kunye nabantakwethu ababini ngelixa besiya ekholejini. Ndifunde izinto ezixabisekileyo emsebenzini nakutata malunga nendalo yabantu, ngakumbi ngokuphathelele kuqoqosho lwabo lobuqu. Ndaye ndafumana amava amnandi obomi bam obutsha ekholejini, ngakumbi xa ndadibana nonjingalwazi woncwadi [uGerald “Joe” Butler] endaye ndasondelelana naye kangangeminyaka emininzi. Nangona ndandingumfundi obalaseleyo kwiZoology, ndandisiya kwiiklasi zakhe ezininzi, ngakumbi kwiBritish Literature, kunye neeklasi ezifana ne-“Aesthetics yeNoveli,” njl. njl.. Ubuchule bukaButler bokubona nokuqonda, kunye nobuhlobo bakhe kunye nokucebisa, kwadala ubukrelekrele bakhe. Imeko endingazange ndayibona ngaphambili okanye ukusukela oko. Akazange nje azise iinoveli ezinkulu ebomini, kodwa wandinceda mna nabanye abafundi ukuba siqonde ukuba yintoni na kuloo misebenzi mikhulu esinokuyidibanisa nobomi bethu ngeendlela ezinentsingiselo, ezikhanyisayo kwaye ngamanye amaxesha zide zikhathaze. Andizange ndilahlekelwe ngumdla wam kwisayensi, kunoko ndinomdla kwaye ndonwabile ndabandakanya lo mdla omtsha ebomini bam. Kwakuvuyisa ukufumanisa ukuba uluntu lunokuba luncedo olungenakuthelekiswa nanto ekuqondeni ihlabathi ngendlela enokungqamana okanye mhlawumbi idlule into enokwenziwa yinzululwazi. Ndandisoloko ndikhangele phambili ekuyeni kwiiklasi zakhe apho iingxoxo zaziya “kubonisa ukuba iinoveli zikhokelela phi kwaye njani ekukhanyiselweni kwenkalo yamava oluntu awayengaqondwa ngokupheleleyo ngaphambili.” [Njengoko eyichazile.]   Wathweswa isidanga ngo-1976, ngamawonga kunye nokuphumelela, iBSc. Zoology, SDSU. Waqhubeka esebenza kwi-ofisi yerhafu. Walupasa uviwo lweArhente eBhalisiweyo ngo-1987.  [Kube nabathengi abazayo ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-35 ngoku.] [ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/michael-horvitz/15/980/891 ] Intombi u-Anna owazalwa ngo-1980, unyana kaDavid owazalwa ngo-1988.  UDavid no-Anna basebenza nam ngokuqhubekayo kwi-ofisi yerhafu, nto leyo endenza ndonwabe kakhulu. Yiba nabazalwana abathathu abalungileyo nabatshana abaninzi abalungileyo. Uqale ukubhala imibongo kunye namabali amafutshane ngeminyaka yee-'80s, kodwa hayi ngokuzimisela kude kube kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo okanye kunjalo. Omnye umsebenzi wam uyavela San DiegoImibongo Yonyaka ka-2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, & 2012-13.  (Kwaye, ngenxa kaSeretta Martin, uBill Harding kunye noEileen Wingard ndiye ndanethuba lokuba yimbongi ebalaseleyo eBarnes & Noble, Upstart Crow (New Alchemy Poetry), Iinkwenkwezi kwiNkwenkwezi (Inkwenkwezi yeGumbi loLwandle ngasechwebeni. ), kunye neJCC eSan Diego.) http://sandiegopoetryannual.com/2011-12-poetspoems-list/    -  http://www.sdjewishworld.com/2011/01/31/poets-share-at-lawrence-family-jcc-and-on-our-website/  -  Uthando kunye noMbongo:  http://PoetOfTheHeart.com/ Ndidibene nothando lobomi bam, uCarole Marks [Carole Alhadeff ], waseZimbabwe [kuMzantsi Rhodesia], ngentwasahlobo yowama-2005. Ndicinga ukuba le yeyona nto inethamsanqa nemangalisayo ekhe yenzeka kum. Ngaphambi koku, andizange ndikwazi ukuqonda ngokupheleleyo ukuba umntu unokuba nolonwabo olukhulu njani kubudlelwane bothando. Kunye nolonwabo kunye nokwaneliseka akuzise ebomini bam kufike ukuzazi okukhulu ngesiqu sam, sabanye, kunye nemiba emininzi yobudlelwane phakathi kwabantu. Ke kaloku, izinto ezibalulekileyo endazigqala njengezibalulekileyo ebomini bam, ndizibeka emgoqweni zonke; Ube yimyuziyam yam, inkuthazo yam, kwaye engumgxeki ongaxabisekanga, kwaye ndivakalelwa kukuba ukubhala kwam kutshintshile kwabangcono oko bendikunye naye. Ndiye ndaphefumlelwa ukuba ndimbhalele imibongo emininzi yothando, kwaye ndilindele ukwenjenjalo ubomi bam bonke...ndicinga ukuba ndiphila ixesha elide kangako. *** Isihobe, kum, siphuma kubudlelwane obunentsingiselo namava nabantu kunye nezinto; Izinto ezimbini zehlabathi ezenziwe ngabantu kunye nehlabathi leNdalo: isibhakabhaka, imiwonyo, imithi, izitiya zemifuno, izitulo ezindala, izidalwa zasendle apho umntu unokubamba inhlanhla, okanye izidalwa ezifuywayo apho umntu angenza uxhulumaniso lothando. Kodwa ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, lunxibelelwano lwam nabantu endibakhathaleleyo oluzisa intsingiselo kubomi bam nasemsebenzini, kungoko ndithethe ngabo kwesi siqwenga sifutshane.
