David Olimpio

David Olimpio grew up in Texas, but currently lives and writes in Northern New Jersey. He believes that we create ourselves through the stories we tell, and that is what he aims to do every day. Usually, you can find him driving his truck around the Garden State with his dog, Rothko. He has been published in Barrelhouse, The Nervous Breakdown, The Austin Review, Rappahannock Review, Crate, and others. His debut nonfiction collection, THIS IS NOT A CONFESSION (Awst Press, 2016), wants your eyeballs. You can find more about him at davidolimpio.com, including links to his writing and photography. He tweets every day. He would love for you to join him: @notsolinear.
