Adam Houle was raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He is currently attending the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he studies English. Other poems are forthcoming in Asphodel, Poetry Motel, and the anthology Red, White, and Blues (University of Iowa Press, 2004). He has recently learned how to insulate a garage, and use a power drill in thirty-degree weather. He is quite proud of this. He can be reached at aehoule(at)yahoo(dot)com.
