Victor W. Pearn was born in 1950 in Jacksonville, Illinois and began writing poems at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii when he was 21 years old. He earned his BA from the University of Illinois, Springfield, and his English Literature MA in creative writing at Colorado University, Boulder. 'One Year of Grace,' won the 1983 university wide poetry contest, and was printed as the prologue in the 1984 Coloradan by Colorado University. He’s the author of Devil Dogs and Jarheads, a collection of poems describing the culture of the U. S. Marine Corps during the war in Viet Nam, published by Michael Cooper, at Buscainc.com. And poems from that book have been read four times by Garrison Keillor on his NPR broadcast of 'The Writer’s Almanac.' In 2009-2010 Mr. Pearn instructed eight freshmen English classes and six sophomore Writing classes, a total of 585 English majors, at Jining University located in Qufu, China. Currently, he resides with his wife Summer, where he continues writing and publishing books and poems in Colorado. Apricot Harvest, his twelfth book was written in China, and inspired by the contemporary Chinese culture, speaks from those experiences he had while living in Shandong Province from August 2009 to September 2010.

    Edward V Bonner
