David Colodney realized at an early age that he had no athletic ability whatsoever, so he turned his attention to writing about sports instead of trying to play them, covering everything from high school flag football to major league baseball for The Tampa Tribune and The Miami Herald.  David holds an MFA from Converse College, and an MA from Nova Southeastern University. He is the author of the chapbook, Mimeograph, forthcoming this November from Finishing Line Press. His poetry has or will appear in a variety of journals including St. Petersburg Review, South Carolina Review, Panoply, and The Chaffin Journal. David serves as associate editor of South Florida Poetry Journal and lives in Boynton Beach, Florida with his wife, three sons, and golden retriever.
