John Maher

John Maher is a graduate of Skidmore College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in both English and history. He is the recipient of the 2012 Frances Steloff Poetry Prize, and his poems have been acclaimed by Mark Wunderlich as being “sharp, short, and striking, notable for their control and their certainty. I admire the endings of the poems in particular, with their modest flourishes, their brandished daggers.” His poetry, fiction, and essays have been featured in The Midwest Coast Review, Magnapoets, The Adirondack Review, Red Lemonade, The Miscreant, and Chamber Four Lit Mag. He writes for the Long Island Herald.
