About me: My name is David, and I’m originally from Arizona. I studied English Lit at ASU and then got my MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) at Lesley University, where I developed my craft under the tutelage of A.J. Verdelle, Hester Kaplan, and Rachel Kadish. I’ve published both poetry and prose before and am currently working on several creative writing projects. (You can learn more on davidklose.info.)
In 2021, I left the US to live as a digital nomad, staying in cities such as Sofia, Porto, Vienna, Leipzig, Krakow, Tbilisi, Bangkok, and Seoul. Now I spend most of my time in Paris.
About this Substack: At Lesley, I got a glimpse of what it would be like to live a literary life, a life focused on writing and reading literature. This Substack is a small attempt to re-create that feeling. Sometimes I’ll share my favorite passages from a book I just finished reading, and other times I’ll go deeper into craft analysis or a full-blown opinionated review. There’s no set schedule, frequency, or format to these Substacks, but I hope you enjoy what ends up in your inbox.
