Curt Last lives between Huntington Beach, California, and the city of Tumon, on the island of Guam. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Pre-Law from U.C. Santa Barbara and his Master of Fine Arts in Poetry from California State University, Long Beach. His graduate video work for the “Guam Series” of poems may be viewed at Myspace under the link http//:myspace.com/curt_aka_tha_realest (contains some scatological content).

He is currently working on two book-length collections of poems—one based upon his various stays on the island of Guam, the other following a three-month trip along the Pacific Rim to locales such as Fiji and Bali. He travels for his writing and out of curiosity. He lives to write and writes to live—which is why he recently signed on to the United States Naval Reserves under their Hospital Corpsman program, and awaits further orders.

His poetry has appeared in The California Quarterly, The Chiron Review, Pearl, and Spot(lit) Magazine, among others. His letters and essays have been published in The California Quarterly as well.
