John is an MFA candidate in University of Baltimore's Creative Writing & Publishing Arts program. You may find him either reflecting on the world around him and doggedly attempting to transform that into blocks of words, or tilting on a high wire, doing his darndest to balance family and work. He previously served as an editor of "End of 83" (https://endof83.com/about/). Over the years he's written short stories, poems and a few unpublished draft novels. His favorite writing is in the vein of so-called "magical realism."
