He has served as a poetry editor for Copper Nickel and Sycamore Review and has taught creative writing at universities, libraries, and prisons across the country.

On the last Wednesday of every month, Richard Vargas will bring in a guest poet to read their poetry to the crowd, but will allow other poets to read a piece or two of their own work (5 minute slots) throughout the 2 hour session.
