Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, Luke Harvey moved to Chattanooga, TN, in order to pursue a collegiate baseball career. After graduating with his BA in English and his MA in Teaching, he currently lives in Chattanooga where he teaches high school English and coaches baseball. Primarily influenced by the work of Robert Frost and Wilmer Mills, he desires for his poetry to be accessible to a novice reader yet simultaneously artistic, structured, and layered. While he is new to the publishing world, he has published poems in The Eunoia Review, The Thorn, and TravelHost.
