For thirteen years, John taught English and Latin in a private all-girls school, and in 2010 completed his Ph.D., in which he focused on the pragmatic comedy of the Canterbury Tales. Currently, he is an adjunct instructor at Chatham University in Pittsburgh. He has had many jobs in his life, including archaeological field assistant, obituary writer, and television-screen-factory worker. He has had poem published in such journals as Aries, Abbey, The Chaffin Journal, The Journal (UK), Poets' Espresso Review, Pulsar Poetry Review (UK), and in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His iPhone is now his primary poetry notebook, and he hopes his negotiation with technology in regard to this ancient art form continues to be successful.
