James E. Allman, Jr.’s credentials—degrees in biology and business—qualify him for an altogether different trade. However, he easily tires of the dissected and austerely economized. He is a dabbler with an expensive photography-habit and a poetry-dependency. Nominated for Pushcart Prizes in 2010 & 2011, his work appears, or is forthcoming, in "Nimrod", "The Los Angeles Review", "The Portland Review", "decomP", and "Splash of Red", amongst others. He’s written reviews for "Rattle" as well as other journals, blogs and sundries and is the co-founder of an artist community called "Continuum".
