Gavin Thagard is a writer out of Atlanta, GA, though he tries his hand at various arts. He is an underworked actor and director, currently developing his playwriting skills. He also writes both poetry and short fiction. He has published work in such places as Arden, Z Publishing House, and The Esthetic Apostle. In his free time, Gavin looks for ways to push literary quality back into mainstream American art. He hopes you will help. You can find him on Instagram @theoldearl.
