Christian Detisch's poems and essays have appeared in Blackbird, Image, The Academy of American Poets website and elsewhere. He received his Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing at Virginia Commonwealth University and lives with his fiancée in New Haven, CT.
This November, to recognize and honor National Adoption Awareness Month, I've invited adoptee poet Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello to curate a folio of poems by 10 Asian American adoptees. This page features Christian Detisch's “Self-Portrait with Steve Prefontaine." I invite you to take a moment to read her moving introduction to the folio here, as well as the other nine poems in this collection.
