Fabrications, New and Selected Poems

After leaving school Lane worked for over 40 years as an editor and journalist with the World Future Society exploring ways in which emerging trends and technological innovations were likely to reshape society and government in the years ahead.  In addition to his interest in future studies, Lane has worked as a translator and/interpreter for the U.S. Department of State and Germany’s Goethe Institut. He has also written scripts for TV documentaries shown on PBS and in several European countries; and his poems and other writings have appeared in numerous anthologies and literary magazines. In 1996 Lane produced an experimental book of future-focused poems entitled Virtual Futures, followed two years later by Fabrications a gathering of his new and selected poems.  In 2012 he assembled Lineage, featuring poems and stories written by three generations of his family (his grandfather, his father, and himself), and 2016 saw the publication of his novel Satisfaction.
