Writer of literary nonfiction, essays, fiction, flash, and poetry.

He spent decades in technology and private equity, where words were tools and tools were not sacred. Later, with more quiet in the day, he found his way back to the page and to the voice that had been waiting there. He writes about the quiet reinventions that shape a life.

His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Midsummer Dream House, Inglenook Literary Magazine, Hippocampus Magazine, Defenestration, Third Wednesday, ONE ART, Haiku Journal, and KevinMD.

Background

Before returning to the pen, Goldfarb spent more than thirty years as a technology and private equity executive, with senior roles across public companies, global enterprises, and portfolio businesses.

He has written for Computerworld, InformationWeek, CIO, MIS Week, and other technology publications, contributed to professional books, and served as a guest lecturer at the Yale School of Management. Computerworld recognized him as one of the business world’s Premier 100 IT Leaders.

That professional life gave him a long apprenticeship in systems: how they are built, how they fail, and how people behave inside them. His nonfiction, fiction, and poetry now bring that eye to family, medicine, grief, bureaucracy, work, and ordinary life.
