Author's Bio

Patrick Trombly's poems have recently been published in several journals, including 1922 Review, Connecticut River Review, Relief and Roanoke Review.   

Additional poems are forthcoming in Alabama Literary Review, Ink in Thirds and Sybil.  

Patrick's fiction debut was recently published in Volume 8 of Resonance.   A second story was recently accepted for publication in December.  

Patrick's work advances his unique theory and process of poetry, which he calls Organic Structure, in which the ideas form first, and then give birth to a narrative, which evolves its own structure and every aspect of its architecture.  This can manifest as received forms in which the internal architecture is shaped by the idea, narrative, character, themes or a custom structure that the idea creates for itself.  Patrick's body of work features a wide range of physical forms, a systemic unity across every detail and dimension of each poem, and a set of related themes and subjects explored from different angles with different lenses.  

Patrick lives and writes in Yorkville, New York City.
