| Masthead |
Justin Evans was born and raised in Utah. He
served in the U.S. Army from 1988-1992, and is a
veteran of the 1st Gulf War. He graduated from
Southern Utah University with a degree in History
and English Education. After completing his
student teaching and also working as an adjunct
instructor for Utah Valley State College, Justin
relocated to rural Nevada, where he has been
teaching happily for the past nine years. He and
his wife Becky have three sons.
Justin's poetry has appeared in such publications
as The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature,
Slant, The Sugarhouse Review, RE:AL, In Posse
Review, Jabberwock, Touchstones, The Briar
Cliff Review, The DMQ Review, The Green Hills
Literary Lantern, The Pebble Lake Review, and
Petroglyph. He was also nominated for a 2005
Pushcart Prize, along with half the writers in North
America. In 2007 he received an honorable
mention from the Nevada Arts Council for his
poetry. Justin has published three chapbooks of
poetry: Four Way Stop (2005), which was winner
of the Main-Traveled Roads Chapbook series; and
Gathering up the Scattered Leaves (2006), from
Foothills Publishing. His most recent chapbook,
Working in the Birdhouse was released from
Foothills in 2008. He has also published a series
of letters he wrote to Karl Rove in 2004-2005. His
first full length poetry collection, Town for the
Trees, will be released from MilSpeak Press in
July, 2010.
However amazing those accomplishments seem,
Justin feels his greatest writing-related successes
are his friendships with the famous and semi-
famous within the writing world. He hopes
someday, to use these friends to catapult himself
into the relative stratosphere of mediocrity.
