{"id":393,"count":2,"description":"Russell Thorburn is the author of four books of poems. Somewhere We\u2019ll Leave the World, published by Wayne State University Press, draws on the poet\u2019s own experiences while imagining fictional characters and personal heroes. In a previous book, Misfit Hearts, he chronicles the making of The Misfits through the filming-location photographs of Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. In Let It Be Told in a Single Breath, his latest book published by Cornerstone Press, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he picks up where he left off with recurring characters and a younger self in dislocations of time and space. He has received numerous grants, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. The Upper Peninsula\u2019s first poet laureate, Thorburn teaches composition at Northern Michigan University.","link":"https:\/\/novusliterary.com\/2025-archive\/literary_contributors\/thorburn-russell\/","name":"Russell Thorburn","slug":"thorburn-russell","taxonomy":"literary_contributors","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novusliterary.com\/2025-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_contributors\/393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novusliterary.com\/2025-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_contributors"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novusliterary.com\/2025-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/literary_contributors"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/novusliterary.com\/2025-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?literary_contributors=393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
