David Koehn won the May Sarton Poetry Prize with his first book, "Twine" (Bauhan Publishing, 2013). Judith Kitchen in the Georgia Review applauded it as “illuminated” and complicated” by invention.” He published "Compendium" (Omnidawn Publishing, 2017), revisiting Donald Justice's approach to prosody. Koehn's second book of poems, "Scatterplot" (Omnidawn Publishing, 2020), per a review in Gulfstream, "helps make sense of the world."  "Sur," his third full-length collection, was released by Omnidawn in the fall of 2024.  Koehn's writing appears in the Kenyon Review, New England Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, Rhino, Volt, Carolina Quarterly, Diagram, McSweeney's, The Greensboro Review, North American Review, The Rumpus, Smartish Pace, Hotel Amerika, Gargoyle, Zyzzva, Prairie Schooner and elsewhere. He earned his BA in Creative Writing at Carnegie Mellon and an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Florida. David has taught a post-graduate workshop, “Prosody as A Form of Revision,” for the last decade and a post-graduate workshop, “Forms: Breaking The Bowl,” for the past five years both online for Omnidawn.
