Author Profile

Born in Arizona, schooled near Detroit, Wayne Allen Jones
studied Biology and English at Harvard, preparing in earnest for
academic life with graduate studies at the University of Michigan
and Harvard. While in Ann Arbor, he won two Hopwood awards
for poems and essays. At Harvard he completed his Ph.D. with
a dissertation on Hawthorne in 1974.

After sticking to his nineteenth-century knitting at the University
of Illinois at Chicago, he taught poetry and gave several readings
at the University of Miami, including a pilot-bombardier duo with
James Dickey. Cut short by the tenure sickle, he moved back to
New England and got a day job writing for industry, winning two
writing awards and a spot in a user group hall of fame.

Throughout these business years, he continued to write poems,
often in airplanes, and recently turned to readings and publication
to try his work in the public furnace. He was selected as a juried poet
at the 2000, 2002, and 2003 Houston Poetry Fests, and at the Chicago
Poetry Fest 2003. He was also selected as the seventh and last Knight
of the Mystic Pen and Stone Works was reviewed on ChicagoPoetry.com.
Jones has read in Houston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Cambridge.
