Hobble Creek Review
| 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 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. Justin has
published two chapbooks: Four Way Stop (2005),
which was winner of the Main-Traveled Roads
Chapbook series; and Gathering up the Scattered
Leaves (2006), from Foothills Publishing. He has
also published a series of letters he wrote to Karl
Rove in 2004-2005.
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.
