[close] Born amidst the sad cartoon of Nixon’s America and Evel Knievel’s ill-fated jump across the Snake River Canyon, Trevor Dodge spent big chunks of his childhood listening to Jackson 5 and Journey records. Everything was going fine until his next door neighbor brought over Queen’s News of the World album; the cover art depicted a massive robot squishing people between its fingers. Needless to say, twenty years of nightmares started immediately.

He has taught courses in literature, writing, and cultural studies at Boise State University, Marylhurst University, and the Pacific Northwest College of Art. He now teaches composition, literature and fiction writing at Clackamas Community College, and is also an associate editor of Clackamas Literary Review. His novella, Yellow #10, was published in 2003 by Eraserhead Press; in 2006, Chiasmus Press published his first collection of short fiction, Everyone I Know Lives On Roads. [close]
