Adrian S. Potter, winner of the 2022 Lumiere Review Prose Award, humbly lives in Minnesota on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Dakota people. When he’s not busy silently judging your beer selection and record collection, he’s talking too much or writing poetry and prose. Potter is the author of three collections of poetry/prose/hybrid work, including the recent And the Monster Swallows You Whole (Stillhouse Books) and Field Guide to the Human Condition (CW Books).
