Joshua Burns's poems have appeared at Cha, Handsome, Housefire and The Bakery. A 2012 graduate of the College of William & Mary, Burns put his English major and Art History minor to good use. He began writing poetry with a strong emphasis on the art of ekphrastic creation. The ekphrastic allowed him to honour, in a strongly non-fictional sense, installation artists such as Huang Yong Ping. Not long after, Cha honoured some of this laundry with accolades (see September 2012 and December 2013 issues of the journal). As far as day jobs went, Burns took up substitute teaching at his primary school and in his off-hours kept hollowing out the “modern Chinese art expatriate” back catalog. [Poetry]
