Autorenporträt

Mebane Robertson was born in Lynchburg, Virginia and spent his formative years in Richmond where he attended private schools which ousted him one after the other, although not for poor academic performance. He went on to graduate from The College of William and Mary with a B.A. He moved thereafter to New Orleans, LA where he was employed in the French Quarter and resided on St. Charles Ave, where he endured the Mardi Gras floats passing his apartment as harbingers to Fat Tuesday. Robertson was writing and publishing in various journal at this time. He also wrote fiction and devoted much attention to songwriting. After New Orleans, he moved to Brooklyn where he spent most of his time (again) writing poems, fiction, and songs. This period ultimately ended in academic labors in adjunct professorships and a Ph.D. in English from Fordham University. He is currently living out the aftermath of his academic work, not in serving as a professor, but in pursuing his time writing poems, stories, and music. What will happen hence remains to be seen. Robertson's first book A Signal from Draco was published in 2007 and included work from chapbooks and various literary journals in which he had published--including "The Belloit Poetry Journal," "The Journal )OSU)," "Guernica," "Able Muse," and others. The present volume comprises many of the poems he has written since then.
