Jack Morgan graduated from UC Berkeley. His poetry has been published numerous times in various forms including several chapbooks and literary journals, including Wunderkammer, Back Room Live, Pineapple War, Hobo Eye, Mary Magazine, 3AM Magazine, Venom Literati, and many more. He won the Judith Stronach award for poetry (UC Berkeley's highest award for the art) in 2007 and again in 2008, the first person to win it two years in a row. Jack was a member of the Berkeley Poetry Review and founded the Trainwreck Union which published variously and was a short but very pretty movement in the SF Bay Area poetry scene.
His press, Stormy Petrel Press sporadically publishes chapbooks he likes in an attempt to revive book arts in a world of mass communications. Stormy Petrel also publishes a semi-regular poetic journal called Sorry for Snake.
Jack co-curated a reading series as part of Mission Arts and Performance Project in San Francisco's Mission District, and he cofounded the Studio One Reading Series with Sara Mumolo in Oakland, CA.
He currently lives in Staunton, Virginia with a day job at the American Shakespeare Center as their Marketing Coordinator.
