Poet Bio: George Yatchisin is the Communications Coordinator for the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education at UC Santa Barbara and the author of the chapbook Feast Days (Flutter Press 2016). His poems have been published in numerous journals including Antioch Review, Askew, and Zocalo Public Square. He is the co-editor of the anthology Rare Feathers: Poems on Birds & Art (Gunpowder Press 2015), and his work appears in the anthologies Clash by Night (CityLit Press 2015) and Buzz: Poets Respond to SWARM (Gunpowder Press 2014). Yatchisin's journalism and nonfiction has also been published widely, including in the anthology I'll Tell You Mine: Thirty Years of Essays from the Iowa Nonfiction Writers Program (University of Chicago Press 2015). He has a MFA from the University of Iowa and a MA from the Johns Hopkins University.
Author Statement: As a poet my struggle is always with the poignant truth that language is a tool that fails us. So I hope to make some music about what might seem mundane and un-poemly, from celery root to the record for shearing sheep in an hour.
Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.
Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
