Dan Memmolo

Dan Memmolo grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Mass., where he discovered the virtues of a three-chord stomp, a 15-foot jump shot, and the seven dirty words. His book Fist City won the 2011 Holland Prize from Logan House Press and was published in late 2012. He is also the author of the chapbook Beat Surrender and his poems have appeared in numerous magazines, including Atlanta Review, Gargoyle, New York Quarterly and Southern Poetry Review.
