About

About Jason Fisk

Jason Fisk is a novelist and poet living in the Chicago suburbs. His work explores the complexities, contradictions, and occasional absurdities of everyday life.

He is the author of the novel The Craigslist Incident (Unsolicited Press) and several poetry collections, including Sadly Beautiful, Sub Urbane, poof, Salt Creek Anthology, and the fierce crackle of fragile wings.

His forthcoming novel, The Mouse Messiah, will be published by Trompe L’Oeil Press, an imprint of Running Wild Press.

Before becoming a middle school language arts teacher, Fisk worked in a psychiatric unit, a cabinet factory, and construction. These experiences, along with an enduring interest in the peculiarities of human behavior, inform much of his writing.
