Robert Glick is Associate Professor of English at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he teaches creative writing, digital literature, and the occasional course on zombies. His first book, TWO CALIFORNIAS (C&R Press, 2019), was described by Laird Hunt as “a fizzing, crackling, nightmarish wonderfest” and by Melanie Rae Thon as “fueled by piercing honesty, keen intelligence, lyrical virtuosity, and imaginative compassion.” A recipient of residencies from MacDowell, Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts, and Ucross, he is now completing a novel, THE ASTERISMS. Excerpts from THE ASTERISMS have won the Summer Literary Seminars and New Ohio Review fiction prizes, while other works have appeared in The Normal School, Denver Quarterly, Black Warrior Review, and Gettysburg Review. Having lived in the Bay Area, Amsterdam, and Salt Lake City, Robert now lives in Rochester, NY with his partner Anne Royston, their dog Toby, and their untitled almost-newborn. |
