Poet R.H. Alexander grew up in Chicagoland and currently lives in southern Wisconsin. He started writing poems at age eight when he learned how to fish and still considers a day of fishing as one no god dare count against us. (It's called "fishing" and not "catching" for a reason.)
Alexander's poetry has been published in a number of literary journals, anthologies, and quarterlies, among them The Passengers Journal, Humans of the World, Train River Anthologies, Oprelle Publications, The Quillkeepers Press, the Querencia Anthologies, and Half Way Down the Stairs' e-books. His poetry collection Confessions from Eden was published in February 2022 by Rare Earth Ink Publications. Alexander was a 2022 Best of the Net prize nominee for his short story "The Unexplained". He was named as a finalist for the 2023 Tom Howard/Margaret Reid Poet Prize.
