Jack Dawkins' works of urban poetry have only recently appeared in the literary journal, enormous rooms (www.enormousrooms.com). He once read five pieces at The Urban Lounge (www.myspace.com/theurbanlounge), and spent several semesters as a journalist for The Daily Utah Chronicle (www.thedailyutahchronicle.com), covering student government, modern dance, ballet, drama, structural art, concert performances, et al.

His interests are wide, as his writing projects reflect. Mr. Dawkins is currently working to publish a children’s book, a 100-bottle wine journal, a semi-autobiographical novel entitled 'The Spirit of Taylor McFarlan', another semi-autobiographical novel entitled, 'Legends of the SBHC', a small collection of his own poetry (hopefully illustrated by graffiti artist Zak Elstein), and co-authoring a satirical screenplay with Keith Keranen. He resides in Las Vegas, “one of the more focused microcosms of human abnormality.
