My introduction to Jeffrey Bilbro came through the internet. It was likely a link in someone’s post (now forgotten), But I clicked and landed at a site called Front Porch Republic.
Bilbro is the editor-in-chief and an occasional writer, but it is mostly written by others. If you familiar with Wendell Berryor perhaps Paul Kingsnorth, then you’ll find Front Porch Republic familiar. It’s about community, land and landscape and how people interact with them, and th the things that threaten, like economic concentration and power. It’s also about the things that matter – family, children, neighbors, and friends – the kinds of things that people must work hard to make last.
When he’s not editing Front Porch Republic, Bilbro is an associate professor of English at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. I knew he had published non-fiction books, but I didn’t know he was a poet. Exile’s Journey is his first collection.
