Jon Davis






Jon Davis is the author of six full-length collections of poetry: An Amiable Reception for the Acrobat (Grid Books, forthcoming, 2019), Improbable Creatures (Grid Books, 2017), Heteronymy: An Anthology (La Nana Creek Press, 2015), Preliminary Report (Copper Canyon Press, 2010), Scrimmage of Appetite, University of Akron Press, 1995), and Dangerous Amusements (Ontario Review Press, 1987). He is also the author of five limited-edition chapbooks, including Thelonious Sphere (Q Ave. Press, 2014) and Loving Horses (Palace Press, 2014).  Two new collections of poems, The Many-Body Problem and How Is This Fun: The Poems of Chuck Calabreze, and a collection of short fiction, Postcards of the Hanging, are complete. Dayplaces, which Davis translated from the Arabic with the author, Iraqi poet Naseer Hassan, was published by Tebot Bach Press in 2017.  Davis is currently co-translating an expanded version of Dayplaces. Davis’s short stories have appeared in recent issues of The Stockholm Review, Monkeybicycle, Flash, Versal, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, failbetter, and the anthologies Flash Fiction Funny and Flashing for Comic Relief. For three years he taught screenwriting for the ABC/Disney Summer Film & Television Workshops at IAIA. Short films made from his screenplays have played in festivals across North America. He has received a Lannan Literary Award, the Lavan Prize, the Off the Grid Poetry Prize, a Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center Fellowship, and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. He taught for 23 years at the Institute of American Indian Arts before founding, in 2013, the IAIA low residency MFA in Creative Writing. He retired as director of that program in 2018.

Sometimes, he shows up as this guy, Chuck Calabreze. Nobody knows why.
