==============================

*Ed Roberson* is the author of thirteen books of poetry, including /MPH 
and Other Road Poems/ (Verge Books) and /Asked What Has Changed/ 
(Wesleyan UP). His most recent collection, /Aquarium Works/ (Nion 
Editions), details his experiences as a diver and tankman at the 
Pittsburgh AquaZoo in the 1960s.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Roberson also worked in the area’s steel 
mills, in an advertising graphics agency, and as a research assistant in 
limnology, studying inland and coastal freshwater systems on trips to 
Alaska and Bermuda. He later led a career as a special programs 
administrator at Rutgers University.

A Chicagoan since 2004, Roberson has taught at Columbia College, the 
University of Chicago, and Northwestern University. He has also held 
posts at the University of California, Berkeley, and at the Cave Canem 
retreat for Black Writers. His many honors include the Jackson Poetry 
Prize, the Shelley Memorial Award, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, and a 
Guggenheim Fellowship.

Roberson’s poetry is deeply informed by his engagement with the natural 
world, his interests in spirituality and visual art, and his lifelong 
travels, which include motorcycling across the United States and 
mountain climbing in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes.
