Steve Timm is the author most recently of Ornithocracy, a chapbook to be released in July, 2024, from Stone Corpse Press, and Rule of Composition: 100 Poems Written to the Cecil Taylor Feel Trio’s 2 Ts for a Lovely T (Bananaquit Press, 2022). About an earlier book, Joan Retallack blurbed “Steve Timm’s word spectrum is brave, unnerving, dazzling, commodious… [and] unyieldingly good naturedly plays with an impressive number of entrenched expectations.” Many new and old poems can be found across the internet and in print journals (e.g., American Poetry Review). His live performances are known for ending with an improvised sound poem (àla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNSz6JG4tIw.)

A native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, he lives with his wife Shari Bernstein and son Alex (who finds his poems “interesting”) in Madison, Wisconsin, where until this year he taught English as a second language at the University of Wisconsin.
