David Sloan is the author of three poetry collections—The Irresistible In-Between (Deerbrook Editions 2013), A Rising and Other Poems (Deerbrook, 2020) and Earth School (Deerbrook, 2024). He is a two-time recipient of Maine Literary Awards, as well as the Betsy Sholl Award, the inaugural Maine Poets Society Prize and the New Millennium Award for Poetry. After teaching for nearly 50 years, most recently at Maine Coast Waldorf High School in Freeport, he is now semi-retired, content to focus on the joys of more regular writing, grandparenting, gardening, cycling and pickle ball!
