David Rothman teaches writing for the City University of New York, and he has had short stories published Glimmer Train,Hybrido, the Piltdown Review, and Newtown Literary, among others. He is the drummer for the NYC-based band, The Edukators, and is a proud resident of Jackson Heights, Queens (and has little or no interest in reclaiming his actual grandparents’ tenement on the Lower East Side).
