Joseph Young lives in Baltimore. His book of microfictions, Easter Rabbit, was just released by Publishing Genius. Pasha Malla, author of The Withdrawal Method, says "One is tempted to compare Joseph Young's marvelous collection of microfictions to many things -- miniature portraits, maybe, or model ships inside bottles, or flashes of lives glimpsed through windows in the night. But when writing is as honest and true as what we find in Easter Rabbit, it seems wrong to call it anything but what it is: very very short, very very good stories, each one grasping at "starlight...out of reach" with "small and smaller tries."the Arts Fellowship in Literature, three Maryland State Arts Council grants in poetry, and the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society’s Gold Medal for the Essay. She lives in Baltimore with her husband, poet Ned Balbo, and her daughter Catherine, and teaches at Loyola University.
