About
Michael Walsh is a poet and short story writer living with his husband in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He grew up on a dairy farm in western Minnesota, where he came out in the local paper during his senior year of high school in the early 90s. He often writes about the queer and rural Midwest. The Dirt Riddles, his first full-length collection of poetry, won the inaugural Miller Williams Prize in Poetry and will be published by the University of Arkansas Press in April 2010. His interests include animal husbandry, astrophysics, games, monsters, myths, quantum mechanics, restoration ecology, slow foods, and urban farming.
