About the Poet
David A. Goodrum, writer/photographer, was born, raised, and educated in Indiana and currently lives in Oregon in the Willamette Valley. As an undergrad, he studied at Indiana University and graduated with a creative writing thesis of poems. He holds degrees in English and German and a doctorate in instructional systems technology. He was, at one time, a high school teacher, though he was afraid his life would go from attending high school and sacking groceries in the summer to teaching high school and sacking groceries in the summer. Since then, he has, at different times, developed instructional software, exhibited fine art photography at juried art fairs, and had an extended career in educational technology across two different universities.
His procreative acts include a daughter and two sons. Even before his early thirties, he was certain he would never write poetry again. He continues, it seems, to be wrong. About most things.
\ ˈspärs(ˌ)pōˈetə̇kə \ is David’s first published poetry manuscript. His poetry book, Vitals and Other Signs of Life, is due in June 2024 from The Poetry Box. His poetry has been published in Tar River Poetry, The Inflectionist Review, Passengers Journal, Cathexis Northwest Press, Willawaw Journal, Spillway, Star 82 Review, Eclectica Magazine, Scapegoat Journal, Triggerfish Critical Review, among others.
His photography has graced the covers of several art and literature magazines, most recently Cirque Journal, Willows Wept Review, Blue Mesa Review, Red Rock Review, The Moving Force Journal, Snapdragon Journal, Vita Poetica, and appeared in many others.
