Connie Voisine, a native of Fort Kent, Maine, is an assistant professor of English at the University of Hartford. She has published poems in the Threepenny Review, Ploughshares, and Seneca Review, and is working on a collection of nonfiction essays on ghosts. She lives in Hartford, Connecticut, and Carson City, Nevada.
Set against a fantastic backdrop of religious imagery, myth and dreams, science fiction, and the stark realities of a northern factory town, Voisine's poems carefully detail the life of a common hero and his family.
