Tim Hawkins has lived and traveled widely throughout North America, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Although his career path has taken some memorable

              detours into both the  grotesque (cannery slime table worker) and the sublime (ESL teacher for models), he has primarily worked as a journalist, technical writer,

              teacher in international schools, and on at least one occasion as a nose-hair clipper model. He currently lives in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is

              married with three young children. His poems have appeared recently in Umbrella: A Journal of Poetry and Kindred Prose, The Shit Creek Review,

              The Literary Bohemian, BluePrintReview, and Underground Voices.
