Michael Rothschild is a writer, sculptor, printmaker and farmer. He was born in Maine where he has lived all his life. Two short story collections have been published by Viking/Penguin: Rhapsody of a Hermit and Wondermonger. He received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and appeared three times in the Best American Short Stories collections.

For the better part of the last twenty years Michael has made sculpture in wood, stone, bone and lead as well as numerous etchings, aquatints and linocuts that he prints on a large press in the farmhouse. Selections of his sculpture, etchings, linocuts, and drawings appear in Jubilate, Works by Michael Rothschild. His work is in many collections and museums and has been shown in the People’s Republic of China where he lectured on fiction and art in Beijing, Xi’An and Nanjing.

Michael lives and works on his 200 acre farm where he and his extended family raise Suffolk sheep, Angus beef, hogs, flocks of chickens, Muscovy ducks and turkeys and a Jersey milk cow. He is currently grafting and setting out a new orchard of old strain apples and pears and building a large cider press out of rock maple.
