Aaron Giovannone is an author and writing professor. He has published the poetry collections The Nonnets (2018) and The Loneliness Machine (2014), while his personal and critical essays have appeared in venues such as The Walrus, Jacobin, Salon, Maclean’s, Brick, and The Literary Review of Canada. He has a PhD in English literature and creative writing and he teaches at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 

Aaron is part Italian, which is excellent because it gives him an excuse to visit Italy nearly every year to see his relatives. In a strange coincidence, he is currently writing a thriller set in a small Italian town.

With his wife, author and editor Naomi K. Lewis, they co-host Sweater Weather, a podcast about stories: the ones they're writing, reading, watching—and living!
