Ray Sweatman

Ray Sweatman is a poet, satirist and novelist from Atlanta, Georgia. He has an MFA from Columbia University and has published two books of poetry, Nothing Lit Can Leave and Posing in the Woods in the Nude for Dali, and one satirical work, The Trump Dictionary, written in the style of Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary. Cosmic American Rhapsody, based loosely on the life and legend of country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons, is his first novel. He is a fan of classic and popular culture and believes the sublime and the ridiculous can co-exist, sometimes on the same page.
