Contemporary Rhyme | Editor, Richard Geyer

I spent my high school years at the Roeper School, have a self-designed B.A. in English and Scandinavian Literature (1989) from the University of Minnesota and an M.I.L.S. (1990) from the University of Michigan, where I also studied Old English. I have been a librarian at a small liberal arts college in Michigan since 1991 and I am a member of the American Library Association, The American Society for Information Science and Technology and the library science honorary society, Beta Phi Mu. Five self-published collections of my poetry are in the Harris Collection of American Poetry and Plays at Brown University. I have had poetry published in several periodicals, including Candelabrum Poetry Magazine (UK), Journal of the Thomas Lovell Beddoes Society (UK) and frisson: disconcerting verse (US), and in one anthology, Second International Anthology on Paradoxism (Romania: Anotimp & Abaddaba, 2000). I was the publisher at Yellow Bat Press from 2003 to 2006, where I produced the print journal Yellow Bat Review and the e-collection of flash fiction Crown of Bones (both edited by Craig Sernotti) as well as chapbook collections of contemporary horror poetry. I'm the website manager of the Thomas Lovell Beddoes Society and publish an annual bibliography of Beddoes studies in the Society's journal. I've also published a chapbook collection of Beddoes' poetry, Best Poems of Thomas Lovell Beddoes (2001), which is now out of print. My biography is included in the 2008 editions of Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.
