ABOUT

Donovan was asked by his high school English teacher
to read his poetry in front of the class. The poem was dark and ominous;
it rhymed and was horrible. The teacher's interest in his poetry, though, initiated his chase
for more words. Now, he writes during fragile glints of time between work and family.
He moved from Southern California to Prescott, Arizona to Fort Worth, Texas. He is a husband, a father
of three, and a professor of English and Humanities. He earned an M.F.A.
from Antioch University, Los Angles and a Ph.D. in Humanities and Aesthetic Studies
from the University of Texas at Dallas. He instructs full-time at Tarrant County College
in Fort Worth, Texas. Recent writing has appeared in Subprimal, Americana Popular
Culture Magazine, Carbon Culture, Kitty Litter Press, Shufpoetry, Amarillo Bay,
Borderlands, Tattoo Highway, Sojourn, The Northridge Review, The New York Quarterly,
Rougarou, and others.
 
 
Published by Turning Point, Donovan's full-length poetry book, The Sunshine Special,
is now available.
