Mark McMorris is a distinguished poet, scholar, and editor whose work bridges the rich traditions of African American literature and the natural world.

As an associate professor of English at the University of Utah, he has dedicated his career to uncovering underrepresented voices in American literature. His editorial prowess shines in Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry, a groundbreaking anthology that redefines the intersection of Black experience and ecology, challenging conventional narratives and celebrating the poetic reverence for the earth across four centuries.
