Poet Bio: Dusty Grein

Dusty Grein is a retired Managing Editor of a small press publishing company—as well as a graphics designer, author, and poet. Originally from Federal Way, Washington, he is a lifetime resident of the Pacific Northwest. He has five children, and 24 grandchildren, who keep his off hours full.

His critically acclaimed best-selling novel, The Sleeping Giant, and his first poetry collection, A Mist Shrouded Path, are available in print and as Kindle Select titles. His shorter works and award-winning poetry have been published in several collections, including Chicken Soup for the Soul, OWS Inked, and The Quarterday Review.

An ACP certified poet and self-proclaimed neo-classicist, his poetic focus is on keeping metered poetry fresh and alive–both the classic forms of yesterday and the newest ones of today. He is a consulting editor for the Quarterday Review and a contributing member of the Society of Classical Poets. Several of his how-to essays on writing classical poetry are available online.
