Travis Cebula writes, edits, and teaches creative writing in Maryland. He graduated from the MFA program at Naropa University in 2009—the same year he founded Shadow Mountain Press. His poetry, stories, essays, reviews, and photography have appeared internationally in various print and online journals. He is the author of five chapbooks and two full-length collections of poetry, Under the Sky They Lit Cities and Ithaca, the latter of which is due out from BlazeVOX Books later this Fall. In 2011, Western Michigan University awarded him the Pavel Srut Fellowship for Poetry.
