Faculty and Staff :: Faculty Profiles

Eric Crapo teaches poetry and playwriting, and is an active participant with both the college’s drama club (Two-Bit Players) and queer-straight alliance (Crayon Box). His own creative work explores spirituality, sexuality and sensuality through traditional western metrics and Japanese forms in English. In addition to poetry & drama, Eric has been known to dabble in photography and speculative fiction.

Eric is a participant in the regional Dead Dogma (Wildly Inappropriate) Poetry Workshop. His poetry and reviews have appeared in moonset journal, Sensations Magazine, Verse, and Origami Condom. He is also co-founder and editor of Collective Fallout magazine—a venue for queer speculative fiction and poetry.

He received his BA in Creative Writing from Chester College in December 2006, and his MFA in Creative Writing, with an emphasis on poetry, from New England College in January 2009.
