A 2017-2019 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, J.P. Grasser holds a PhD from the University of Utah, where he edited Quarterly West. He holds B.A. in English from Sewanee: The University of the South and M.F.A. in poetry from Johns Hopkins University.

Most immediately, his work orbits themes of anthropocentrism and masculine ownership paradigms, animal husbandry and the evolutions of the pastoral, climate change and ecological collapse, and reparative acts of rewilding language.

J.P. was raised outside of Washington, DC and on his family’s fish farm in Brady, Nebraska. He serves as an associate editor for 32 Poems and lives in Montana's Bitterroot Valley with his wife, their three horses, and two herding dogs.
