Sponsored by the 'Fox Fund' (Worcester County Poetry
Association).
Michael Milligan has worked as a construction laborer, migrant fruit and grape picker, homestead farmer and graphic arts production manager. Also a musician/composer, artist
and writer.
Recently someone called him “one of those creatives.” He is not sure if the term is pejorative or not. Because his parents would not let him play drums he tortured them with stringed instruments instead and has now been playing guitar just about
forever.
He took his MFA in Creative Writing at Bennington College, thereby joining the teeming mass of writers with degrees of dubious cachet, co-founded Poetry Oasis Worcester and was privileged to be an editor with Diner.
His poetry book reviews, fiction and poems have appeared in Agni, Diner, The New Orleans Review, The Valparaiso
Review, Chaffin Journal, Blue Earth Review, Illuminations and others. He is the author ofUnless I Came Back to Tell You from Kelsay Books.
