About
Josh Parish
I was born a citizen of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and spent much of my life in the Pacific Northwest. My writing has appeared in or is forthcoming from publications like Rattle, The Pinch, Abstract Magazine TV, Tupelo Quarterly, Hippocampus, Apple in the Dark, and Devil’s Lake, and I sometimes make music with Fire of Birds. I received an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Washington, where my collection of short stories, Hardest Weather in the World, won the David Guterson Award.
I also teach English at Tulsa Community College and am a founder of the college’s literary journal, Tulsa Review. You can read my CV here.
