Author's Bio

Colin D. Halloran served with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan in 2006 and has recently completed a volume of poetry reflecting on his war experience.

A former public school teacher, Colin now spends his days at universities and high schools around the Northeast, working with students and teachers to incorporate literature into the history classroom and looking at the ways in which poetry can inform the media's and historians' portrayals of war.

Colin has spoken at the Veterans' Voices Writing Conference at Western Connecticut State University, the 2011 Connecticut Council for the Social Studies Conference, and will be speaking at AWP 2012. He lives outside of Albany, NY and is currently editor in chief of the online literary journal Mason's Road.
