He doesn&#39;t remember much about Tucson and everything about Hawaii. There, he had a small white terrier as a pet. There, he collected comic books and ate guavas fresh off the branch. Then they moved to California, high school was all right, college didn’t happen, but life did. He is now a storyteller, proud father of a wilding, and an occasional poet. He resides in Arcata, Humboldt County.</p> <p>Jonathan McGregor&#39;s creative work has appeared in <em>Gulf Coast, Image Journal, Ruminate Magazine, Relief Journal, Dappled Things, Genealogies of Modernity,</em> and <em>Hyped on Melancholy</em>. He is the author of the academic book <em>Communion of Radicals: The Literary Christian Left in Twentieth-Century America</em> (LSU Press, 2021). He teaches writing at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and is a poetry editor at <em>War, Literature, and the Arts</em>.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vita-poetica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vita-poetica/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vita-poetica/support</a>
