J. Simon Harris lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife Ashley, their son Luke, and their dogs Hallie and Lucy. His translations of Dante's Inferno and Pablo Neruda's Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair are available now. In addition to literature and poetry, he loves science (and works as a scientist), videogames, movies, the outdoors, and—most of all—spending time with his family. He has translated poetry into English from Italian, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Old English, and Provencal. He is currently working on a translation of Dante’s Vita Nuova, and a translation of Homer’s Iliad in hexameter verse (and of course, he’s eager to start work on Purgatory). Much of his work, including translations and original poetry, is showcased on his blog.
