I lived at Collins way back in 1985. I am currently a professor at Mexico’s Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana where I arrived in 2007 after teaching at UCLA and Columbia. I am the author of several books on Mexican subjects, particularly biographies.

My new book The Fallen Sky: An Intimate History of Shooting Stars has been released from Tarcher, an imprint of Penguin, with positive reviews in such places as Kirkus, Discover, Natural History, Seed and elsewhere. I've had work recently in The New York Times. For more information on the book, you can go to my website: www.christophercokinos.com.

My company, Z Puppets Rosenschnoz, has upcoming performances in MA, NY and Indy!

Z Puppets Rosenschnoz NE Tour! Beginning Oct. 3

Z Puppets Rosenschnoz will take North Adams, Amherst, Boston, Albany, Saratoga and Indy with performances that combine puppetry with physical comedy and live music. Please see calendar for all details.

We recently had our first red carpet moment, as our puppet designer won a prestigious Ivey Award— the Tony’s of the Twin Cities.

I visited MRC the summer of 2008 - brought back a lot of memories. This summer I traveled to San Francisco, Sacramento and Yosemite National Park where I worked during the summers when I attended IU and lived at MRC. Yosemite continues to inspire me.

Immediately after graduation from IU this past spring I packed up a Honda Civic and drove to Olympia, Washington, where I continue to reside. I spent the summer working at the most beautiful camp on the face of the earth. I'm attaching a picture to demonstrate, which, while awesome, still doesn't do it justice.

I wrote a collection of short stories last year called "What My Brain Told Me," a book which was recognized as a finalist in the 2009 National Indie Excellence Awards. You can find the book from any major online retailer or via special order through your local bookstore. It is definitely a book that I'm proud of, one which is a lot more personal than my other writing. I have some ideas for other projects, but I'm so busy with freelance work that I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to work on them.
