Wilson Yerxa (b. 1989) grew up in Colusa, California. He holds a post-baccalaureate certificate in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an M.F.A. from the University of Chicago. He is grateful to the poets and theatre-makers he knew in western Massachusetts, especially the Connecticut River Valley Poets Theatre (CRVPT), with whom he was lucky to play with. He currently teaches in the School of the Arts at Indiana University Northwest, in Gary, Indiana, and lives in Chicago, Illinois, as a member of the Pioneer Cooperative.
