About Me

Hello. My name is Zachary Bush. I am a writer of poetry, fiction, essays, and book reviews--from Atlanta, GA. I have lived in Statesboro, GA for the past four years. In December, I will be graduating and leaving my life down south--for the NYC area to pursue work, possible MFA program, life, and my writing. I have two chapbooks of poetry forthcoming between the summer and fall months of 2007. I am currently preparing my first full-length book of poetry and just starting to scout out presses--though, I plan to take my time in the months to come, until it is right for me. So, if you are interested in getting to know me more personally--just do it. Most of you all know me already and so I won't ramble. If you are curious as to my writing projects then mess around with google: use my full name in quotes OR even BETTER check out my BLOGS.
