Neil Shepard’s sixth and sev­enth books of poet­ry were both pub­lished in 2015: Hominid Up (Salmon Poet­ry, Ire­land) and a full col­lec­tion of poems and pho­tographs, Ver­mont Exit Ramps II, (Green Writ­ers Press, Ver­mont). His poems appear online at Poet­ry Dai­ly, Verse Dai­ly, and Poem-A-Day (from the Acad­e­my of Amer­i­can Poets), as well as in sev­er­al hun­dred lit­er­ary mag­a­zines. He taught for many years in the low-res­i­den­cy MFA Pro­gram at Wilkes Uni­ver­si­ty (PA), as well as in the BFA writ­ing pro­gram at John­son State Col­lege in Ver­mont, and he edit­ed the lit­er­ary mag­a­zine Green Moun­tains Review for a quar­ter-cen­tu­ry. These days, he teach­es at Poets House in Manhattan.
