Ray DiZazzo

I have published fiction, poetry, criticism, nonfiction and self-help in commercial and literary magazines, newspapers and 14 books. A few of the magazines include: “The Mid-Atlantic Review”, "Valley Magazine”, “The Christian Science Monitor”, “Inc.”, “The Berkeley Review”, "Poetry Now”, and “The Coachella Review”. I am the recipient of the Percival Roberts Book Award and the Rhysling Award. I am also a Pushcart Prize nominee. My work has been anthologized in “Contemporary Literary Criticism”, and other publications. A half hour documentary program scripted by me for KOCE TV won the first Los Angeles Emmy in the Education category. In addition, I’ve published four books of poetry: Clovin’s Head, Red Hill Press, 1976, Songs for a Summer Fly, Kenmore Press (Chapbook), 1978; The Water Bulls, Granite-Collen, 2009, and The Revlon Slough, 2Leaf Press/University of Chicago Press, 2018.  My newest book of poems, Tropic Then, will be released in April 2022 from 2Leaf Press/The University of Chicago Press.
