Jeremy Michael Reed currently lives in Columbia, Missouri with his wife and daughter. He is an assistant professor of English at Westminster College where he teaches courses in creative writing, American literatures, and publishing, in addition to his work organizing the campus reading series and as faculty advisor for the campus literary magazine.
He has presented his creative and scholarly work across the country, including at ASLE, the Louisville Conference, the New Orleans Poetry Festival, PAMLA, SAMLA, and elsewhere. Additionally, his work has been nominated for Best of the Net and multiple Pushcart Prizes, he's an alum of the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, and he's received multiple fellowships and residencies.
Originally from Michigan, Reed received his B.A. in English, Spanish, and Humanities from Valparaiso University. While he was an undergraduate student, he studied abroad at the Universidad de las Américas in Puebla, Mexico and backpacked over 500 miles through France and Spain. He then moved to Missoula where he graduated with an M.A. in English from the University of Montana and wrote a thesis on contemporary fiction. Finally, he received his Ph.D. in English and Creative Writing from the University of Tennessee where he specialized in poetry and American literatures, wrote a mixed-genre dissertation, and worked as Joy Harjo's assistant.
He is currently working on several manuscripts that are interested in various modes of interrogating and practicing history-telling via poems, creative nonfiction, hybrid genres, and scholarly essays.
