Casey is an elder emo punk rocker who began his poetry career inside dive bars reciting to anyone who would listen. In a previous life, he was a touring spoken word poet, National Poetry Slam finalist, and university Teacher of Record.

Most nights you can find him planning direct action against fascism or at a local punk show, moshing as a form of therapy and community building. Or hooking his brain up to computers and hoping the singularity would hurry up and arrive.

He recently finished his first full-length science fiction poetry book and is seeking representation. His poetry style focuses on emotional free verse coupled with narrative sci-fi conceits. Personal, hard-hitting, and full of universal wonder, Casey hopes to bring the joy of speculative poetry into the public consciousness.
