SUMMARY:Michael Hoerman
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in the Ozarks and now residing in Fayetteville\, Michael’s award-winning poetry embodies the bone-deep passion he feels for our rural culture and his reverence for the power of imagination. Michael is listed in A Readers’ Map of Arkansas for his groundbreaking cultivation of Fayetteville’s literary landscape. In 1995 he co-founded Arkansas’s first National Poetry Slam team. In 1997 he edited a Frank Stanford feature entitled “Death in the Cool Evening” that brought renewed critical attention to the legendary poet. \nMichael is touring to share a selection of earlier and never-heard-before poems in his new chapbook\, Disoriented Fascination\, featuring three poems nominated and now under consideration for Pushcart Prizes.\nA poet active since 1985\, Michael’s publication history and critical recognitions include a Massachusetts Artists Fellowship in the category of Poetry\, Bad Rotten\, his debut chapbook published by Pudding House Publications\, inclusion in Lavender Ink’s 2012 anthology entitled Fuck Poems and four other anthologies\, journals including Arkansas Literary Forum and Eureka Literary Magazine\, and residencies at Spiva Center for the Arts and Sedona Summer Colony among many others. \nBorn into rural poverty in the Ozarks\, Michael is a survivor. Though living in poverty\, disabled by PTSD\, a formerly incarcerated person\, with only a GED\, Michael’s poetry has broken through barriers that have too long kept the poor\, the disabled\, the uncredentialed and the formerly incarcerated out in the cold. His story will empower others like him\, and challenge those who would keep them down and out in the communities where they are integral.
