Derek_Gromadzki_PhotoDerek Gromadzki received his MFA in poetry from the Literary Arts Program at Brown University, where he held the Peter Kaplan Memorial Fellowship. He is currently a Presidential Graduate Fellow in Comparative Literature at the University of Iowa. With Forrest Gander, he just finished editing a selection of the Japanese poet Gozo Yoshimasu’s work, entitled Alice, Iris, Red Horse, a volume which includes his own translation, with Sayuri Okamoto, of a selection from Yoshimasu’s Naked Memos. Derek’s poems have appeared in a variety of publications, including American Letters & Commentary, Colorado Review, Drunken Boat, The Journal, the PEN Poetry Series, Seneca Review, Wave Composition, and Web Conjunctions. A recently found copy of Roof Books’ Xul Reader has taken over atop his stack of reading.
