about the author

James E. Allman, Jr.’s credentials—degrees in biology and business—qualify him for an altogether different trade. However, he easily tires of the dissected and austerely economized. He is a dabbler with an expensive photography habit and a poetry dependency. Nominated for Pushcart Prizes in 2010 & 2011, his work appears, or is forthcoming, in The Black Warrior Review, Phoebe, and Third Coast, amongst others. He’s written reviews for RATTLE as well as other journals, blogs, and sundries and is the co-founder of an artist community called Continuum.
