Biographie de Jed Linde

Having retired after a forty-year counseling and psychotherapy career in Salinas, California, Jed returned to writing. Fifty years ago, he edited and published a quarterly, English-Spanish literary journal, Maguey (mah-gay), subtitled, A Bridge Between Worlds. Around that time, he had articles, short stories, and poems published in various journals, magazines, and anthologies. Before that, he worked as the film and theater critic (with the nom de plume of Eric Lang) for The News, the English-language newspaper in Mexico City, besides having a TV column, and doing feature articles, deskwork, and reporting for the paper.
He also worked as a foreign correspondent for a wire service and for Time magazine. Returning to the US in 1967, he and his wife practiced with the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki Roshi until his passing in December 1971. They stayed on with the organization until 1976, when they left and he began his mental health professional career. He lives with his wife of 61 years, Maria Esther, in Salinas.
