John-Michael Rivera is a writer and teaches creative nonfiction at the University of Colorado at Boulder. An award winning writer, he negotiates his time between the publishing of poetry, flash fiction, lyric essays, criticism and all of the genres that desire a separate space. He relishes the day when genre distinctions will end. What is defunct in his life? The 40 year-old watch he wears and that keeps its own time. He is never late.
