About the Author

Writing from
the other side
of a long silence.

Hamilton Alan Bird

Hamilton Alan Bird writes fiction shaped by tension and consequence, nonfiction concerned with the interior life, and children’s books under the name Maux Jaux.

He lives in Southern Colorado, where quiet has a way of telling the truth. He spent nine years incarcerated — an experience that changed how he listens, and how he understands the difference between captivity and freedom.

Gravity and Friction is his first work of nonfiction.

“I know captivity in two dialects — the clang and the whisper. The overt and the invisible. That’s why I recognized the digital version when it spoke in a softer voice.”
— from the Preface to Gravity and Friction
