Nathan Deeter received his MFA in creative writing in 1999 and stopped writing to fall in love and marry his wife, April. When his father died from lung cancer in 2010, he was overwhelmed with grief and discovered that separation from his wife and family and suicide would not ease his grief, so he returned to family and writing, excavating his voice only to find it was not his anymore, but those of whom he loved. In 2016, he was diagnosed with and treated for rectal cancer on the same day he welcomed his foster daughter into he and his wife’s home. In 2017, they adopted her and, with her, he found his current voice.
