Joseph Scapellato
Joseph Scapellato was born in a suburb of Chicago. So were some of his family members and good friends. In 2008 he earned his MFA in Creative Writing from New Mexico State University where, over the span of three years, he met more good friends, was served life-changing quantities of green chile, and climbed cactus-studded mountains. At the moment he lives in Lewisburg, PA, where he has the good fortune to teach English and Creative Writing courses at Susquehanna University as an adjunct professor. Everybody there is really great. Joe is revising a novel, composing short story cycles, and waiting on his first batch of homemade sauerkraut.
