Justin Danzy is a poet and educator from Southfield, Michigan, and the author of Run in such a way, forthcoming from TriQuarterly Books/Northwestern University Press, which Rachel Eliza Griffiths described as “a vision of snare, thorn, tongue, and the endless rhythms through which language skims its wings across the darkened faces of history, memory, and body.”

He is a Cave Canem Fellow, the 2019 Gregory Padlo Fellow at the Frost Place, winner of New England Review’s Award for Emerging Writers, a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, and the recipient of an Academy of American Poets University Prize. Danzy’s poems can be found in publications such as Pleiades: Literature in Context, Poetry, New England Review, Missouri Review, and Obsidian. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
