Alexander York was born and raised in a small Ohio town, but currently lives in the city of Chicago. He received his BFA in Poetry from Bowling Green State University, where he was the winner of The Grandma Goda Poetry Award from Prairie Margins.
Alexander combines both experiences of subways and skylines with cornfields in his writing. Poetry is his main focus, but he often enjoys working on screenplays since film is big inspiration. His writing is also encouraged from food, animals, animals made of food, and the idea of home. Some of favorite poets include: Jeffrey McDaniel, Russell Edson, Jason Bredle, Charles Simic, Brenda Hillman, Zachary Schomburg, and Matthew Zapruder.
Alexander’s work can be found or will soon be appearing in Word Riot, Another Chicago Magazine, Oyez Review, The Madison Review, Strange Machine, Dogzsplot, and The Red Rock Review. When he isn’t seen in the kitchen, Alexander spends most of his time on an 8-track recorder, or riding his bike until the pedals fall off.
