Jeremy is a poet, musician, and private tutor based in Brooklyn and Woodstock, NY. Jeremy studied creative writing and guitar performance at Northwestern University, later pursuing advanced classical and flamenco guitar studies in Italy and Spain, where he also taught English as a Foreign Language. After a brief detour as a sommelier in NYC, Jeremy earned a Master of Music in Classical Guitar at the Mannes College of Music (The New School) and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the M.F.A. Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. At the same time he established a private tutoring practice in New York City, where he’s been helping students manage their schoolwork while becoming independent and enthusiastic learners for the past 15 years. His poems and criticism have been published in the Nation, New England Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, and other literary and mainstream publications. He has been a visiting scholar at both the Bread Loaf and Sewanee Writers’ Conferences, and was awarded the Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg prize for his poems, as well as the John Lennon Songwriting Award and the UK Songwriting Award/Mozart Prize for his songwriting. He is currently at work on his fifth solo album, as well as an album of instrumental acoustic music, and his first full-length collection of poetry. This is his second year with Oxford Academia. He still maintains an active travel life: this year marked his third trip to Mexico City and his first to Costa Rica, a paradise he hopes will be a regular destination for years to come.
