STEVE FARMER

Steven Farmer is the author of Medieval and other books, most available from Small Press Distribution. Of his latest, Glowball, Sianne Ngai says: “. . . in a book where poems become exploding dandelion heads of the spreadsheet and the situation room, Steve Farmer radicaly estranges us from our present as if it were our future’s past. . . .” He co-edits the online quarterly Poetic Labor Project (http://labday2010.blogspot.com/) with Alli Warren, Laren Levin, and Brandon Brown, and works in the IT industry after many years as a chef in the restaurant business.
