Peter Campion teaches in the MFA program at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of two previous collections of poems, Other People and The Lions, both published by the University of Chicago Press.

"Because his language is so alive and spicy, Peter Campion can write about almost anything and make it memorable. His poems are equally at home in the cities of today and in the wreck we've made of nature. Reading him, you feel the whole weight of American poetry from Whitman through Hart Crane to Kenneth Koch ennobling his lines and giving them both their form and their crackle." (American Academy of Arts and Letters)"
