Jay Parr mostly writes for himself. Sometimes folks give it a home. Thanks, y'all! Jay lives with his partner and child in NC, where he did an MFA at UNCG in the early '00s and didn't publish jack shit for the next 15 years. He's still at the G as a non-tenure-track lecturer in their online liberal & interdisciplinary studies program. Before academia, Jay was a warehouse worker, a forklift driver, a Navy sailor, a long-haul trucker, a roadie—working class shit like that.
