Peter DeVeber

Location: Lubec, Maine

Peter DeVeber is a friend of jazz since attending the very first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954.

Born in Rockland, Maine, DeVeber grew up and went to schools in Maine and Massachusetts. After graduating from high school, he did a brief tour with remnants of the Beat Generation. DeVeber has drawn and painted for more than fifty years. In 2005 he wrote Lady on the Narrows, a book of haiku, American haiku as defined by Jack Kerouac. Peter's writing is influenced by Kerouac and other Beat writers. Jack Kerouac was the "jazz poet."

DeVeber likens his painting and writing to jazz - the movement, the improvisation.

Peter and his wife Jean reside in Lubec, Maine.
