I teach college English, creative writing, and literature and edit The National Poetry Review. My poems have appeared in Antioch Review, Black Warrior Review, Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner, Shenandoah, Threepenny Review, et cetera. I have several books out (two poetry collections--Let's Not Sleep and Odyssea), one animal rights poetry anthology (And We the Creatures), one literature textbook (Field Notes in Contemporary Literature), and several new collections awaiting their chance at stardom. This blog's name is stolen from one of them.
