Joseph Victor Milford was born in Alabama by the banks of the Chatahoochee River; after growing up in the south, he attended The University of West Georgia where he studied with poet Donald Platt while receiving his degree in English and Philosophy. He then was accepted at The Iowa Writers' Workshop where he received his Master of Fine Arts in Poetry and studied with such literary luminaries as Forrest Gander, C.D. Wright, Jorie Graham, Marvin Bell, Dean Young, and James Galvin. His first collection of poetry, Cracked Altimeter, was published by BlazeVox Press in 2010. He currently resides in balmy rural Georgia, with his beautiful wife, daughter, and step-daughter, where he teaches English and literature full-time at Georgia Military College. When Joe is not busy being a college professor, hosting an international radio show, and being a loving husband and father, he rocks out on his guitar, cooks gourmet meals, and studies anthropic principles.
