David Eye completed a midlife MFA at Syracuse University in 2008. This followed a 17-year career in the theatre, and four years in the military, so he may be the only poet who has spent time in both the U.S. Army and Cats. While at SU, he garnered awards for his work as a writing instructor, and interned at BOA Editions, Ltd. His poems have appeared in Stone Canoe, roger, and Critical Encounters with Texts, a university reader. David splits his time between New York City and the Catskill Mountains, where he is renovating a cottage and completing his first book of poems. He would certainly like to finish the book first. David hopes to be teaching again this fall.
