About Poet Simon Hunt at Community Writers of Santa Cruz County

Join us for a Saturday afternoon of poetry & prose by local writers. Poet Simon Hunt is our featured reader, plus we'll have open mic as well.

Simon's first collection of poetry, Lesser Magi, was published in 2018 by Hummingbird Press. Born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and raised in England and the United States, he co-edited Renaissance Culture and the Everyday (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999) and contributed an essay to that volume. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Measure, Homestead Review, Light Quarterly, The Raintown Review, The Seventh Quarry, The Sewanee Review, and other journals—as well as in the online publications 14 X 14 and The Chimaera. He has taught English at various levels in California, Missouri, and Nevada. Married and the father of two, he is a member of the Board of the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation, where he has served as a volunteer docent for more than a decade.
