People / John Spiers
Born on the Ganges, and with "a rugged Everyman's approach unusual in upper-echelon creative writing" (Village Voice), John Spiers brings a broad interdepartmental perspective to his work. After receiving undergraduate degrees from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and Universidad San Francisco de Quito, he went on to the senior editorship at noted political journal Wangoed, and has been a regular contributor to the Dulcimer, the Dover Review, and Daphne, the Quad Cities' third-oldest literary journal. His current project is a genre novel based on the work of Danielle Steel.
