About the Blogger

Welcome!

Over the past two and a half decades, Karl Bjorn Erickson has written more than a hundred articles and essays. His publishing credits include America, The National Catholic Weekly, Catholic Answers' This Rock, Musica Sacra, the Statesman Journal, the Portland Tribune, Seattle Pacific University's Response, Catholic365.com, and many more. His articles explore a wide range of challenging and complex topics, but he especially enjoys writing about the meeting of the arts and faith.

Karl is also the author of several books: Tristan's Travels, Toupee Mice, and The Blood Cries Out (not a children's book!). He's also fond of experimenting with new eBook formats — e.g., Oregon, My Oregon, A Photographic Journey: The Wallowas. (He describes this series as electronic coffee table books.)

On June 17, 2018, Karl Erickson graduated with honors from Marylhurst University with a BA in English Literature and New Media. Sadly, Marylhurst University closed at the end of 2018. This brings a sad, and arguably avoidable, end to more than a century of a rich educational legacy. More details may be found HERE. OregonLive and OPB have also written widely on the closure and its ramifications. He has also made some observations on his blog, Singing in the Wood.

While Karl is currently reducing his time investment in writing and his podcasts, he looks forward to exciting new projects on the horizon! As of late 2023, a new essay has just been completed, and Karl is looking for a good publishing home. He has also begun compiling about fifty of his best articles and opinion pieces as a Kindle compilation. Stay tuned... In other news, a new work of fiction is in the early research stages. He hopes to perhaps have it completed by 2028, which would nicely coincide with his retirement.

The look and feel of the website has changed. To learn more about what Karl has written, select "Publications."

Update: I am happy to announce a photography profile page on SAALL Digital! I've been ordering prints and photo calendars from SAAL for years now, and I am delighted to be able to use them to fulfill your orders for my new photography company, PNW Photography. (This is my sole proprietorship's as-yet-unregistered DBA.) I hope you can stop by and take a look around!

If you have any questions or photo requests, don't hesitate to drop me a note.
