Jeffery Renard Allen
Jeffery Renard Allen (born 1962 Chicago) is an American poet, essayist, short story writer, and novelist. He is the author of two collections of poetry, ''Harbors and Spirits'' (Moyer Bell, 1999) and ''Stellar Places'' (Moyer Bell, 2007), and three works of fiction, the novel ''Rails Under My Back'' (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2000), a story collection ''Holding Pattern'' (Graywolf Press, 2008) and a second novel, ''Song of the Shank'' (Graywolf Press, 2014). In writing about his fiction, reviewers often note his lyrical use of language and his playful use of form to write about African-American life. His poems tend to focus on music, mythology, history, film, and other sources, rather than narrative or autobiographical experiences.
==Early life==
Jeffery Renard Allen was born in 1962 in Chicago, and raised on the South Side of Chicago, a neighborhood that he says informs the setting of his first novel ''Rails Under My Back'' and the stories in his collection ''Holding Pattern''. For Allen, the 1980s in Chicago and other black communities across American represented an “apocalyptic moment” with the introduction of crack cocaine and the violence and other forms of destruction and devastation it brought, experiences that he feels have been underrepresented in literary fiction. (Source: interview with Michael Antonucci)
Allen attended public schools in Chicago, then completed all of his university education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he holds a Ph.D. in English (Creative Writing).〔("Alumni novelist intertwines fact, fiction with ‘keen insight’" ), UIC News, February 24, 2015.〕
