Mark
Spitzer,
novelist, poet, and literary translator, grew up in Minneapolis where
he earned
his Bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota in 1990. He then
moved to
the Rockies, where he earned his Master's in Creative Writing from the
University of Colorado. After living on the road for some time, he
found
himself in Paris, as Writer in Residence for two years at the bohemian
bookstore Shakespeare and Company, where he translated French criminals
and
perverts. In 1997 he moved to Louisiana, became the Assistant Editor of
Andrei
Codrescu's legendary lit journal Exquisite
Corpse, and earned an MFA from
Louisiana
State University. After teaching Creative Writing and Lit for five
years at
Truman State University, he’s now a professor of Writing at the
University of
Central Arkansas. He is Managing Editor of
Exquisite Corpse Annual—issue #1 will
hit the streets in 2009. Spitzer is also
a gar-nut; the photo above is of him and his 106 lb., six-foot-five
alligator
gar.
