Shawn Keller, TWH 2027 Teaching Assistant (Fiction)

Shawn Keller is a poet and writer living in Brunswick, Maine. As a young man he studied history with the heart of a geographer, and then left New England to explore America. He rode out four hurricanes in Florida, and dipped his toes in the Pacific next to the Santa Monica pier. His poetry is concerned with a sense of place, and the never- ending journey we embark upon to find that mythical place we call “home.” His work has appeared in many collections and reviews, including The New Guard, The Northern New England Review, and has been featured in the Portland Press Herald’s series “Deep Water.” Find more of his work online at such venues as Literati Magazine, The Rising Phoenix Review and The River. Shawn's debut chapbook Dreams from the Red House (Felling Difficult Trees) is available now from Bottlecap Press.

And when he's not writing, you'll find him in antique shops browsing old copies of “National Geographic.”
