About
Poet · Writer
Jonathan M. Kelly is a poet and writer. He holds a D.Litt. in Creative Writing from Drew University, where his dissertation "The Glitch Is the Machine" was passed with distinction.
By day, he works as a school librarian at a prep school in northern New Jersey. He has taught English, research methods, creative writing, and seminars on AI for both students and faculty.
His creative work moves between poetry, critical essays on craft, and digital projects that live at the edges of authorship and form. He is the creator of The B-Side of Everything, a fiction project in the form of a music archive curated by his invented persona Skinsbury, and The Collected Works of Rowan Black, a fictional poet's archive framed as recovered work stewarded by the Corvids Collective.
