JUSTIN, ETC.

Justin Etc. is known for his torrid love affairs w/ word collages and his reluctance to talk about himself. He received his MFA in Poetry from San Francisco State University where he was the recipient of the William Dickey Poetry Scholarship. He has been published in Monday Night Lit, Gesture, Autolycus, and is forthcoming in New American Writing, 32. His book Self-Portrait of the Poet Suicided by the MFA Degree comes out through Gorilla Press near the Ides of March 2014. Originally from California’s Central Valley, he now contemplates theoretical suicide in Oakland, where he’s currently trying to teach his cat Milo to walk on a leash. Sometimes a middlin-to-great notion can be found on his blog, rough draft justin.
