Stephen Longfellow has a checkered past, which involves escaping a New England mill town in 1970 via the Army, living and working in assorted jobs all over the world (he has never lived in any one place more than five years), and coming to creative writing late. He has an MFA from Vermont College and an MA in rhetoric and composition from Ohio University. Aside from a little poetry (Café Review, Diner, Edgz, Locuspoint, Talking River Review, Underground Voices), he has published a personal essay in Under the Sun.
