George Yatchisin’s poetry has appeared widely in journals and anthologies and is collected in his books Feast Days and The First Night We Thought the World Would End. National Poetry Series winner Alexandra Lytton Regalado writes of his work, “His poems move like essays; they gather the ribbons, work out the knots.” It’s not surprising, then, that he also writes journalism, having covered topics as diverse as dart leagues, reined cow horse cowboys, military museums, mime troupes, movies, rock and roll, and lots of food, wine, and cocktails.

A nearly three-decade resident of Santa Barbara, CA, he recently retired from his position as the Director of Communications for UCSB’s Gevirtz Graduate School of Education.
