Don Moyer was born in Brooklyn, NY. In the late 1940�s his family moved to the South Bronx. His father, Howard, and mother, Sally, operated a candy store near the old Third Avenue Elevated Railway. When Don was seven, they moved to rural, upstate New York. Don still lives in upstate New York, at Clifton Park, near Saratoga Springs.
As a young man, Don hitchhiked across the country, rode Southern Pacific freights through the Southwest desert, and finally graduated from Westfield (Massachusetts) College in 1972. He has been employed as a factory worker at Strathmore Paper and the Columbia Bicycle Company in Massachusetts, and as a high school teacher, in both public and private, city and rural schools. Fifteen years ago, Don started a one-person interior landscaping business.
He has been married to his wife, Susan, for almost twenty-five years. They have a fifteen year-old daughter, Kate, and a twenty year-old son, Nick.
Don Moyer�s poetry has appeared in Poetry, Harpers, Antaeus, Rolling Stone, and The Massachusetts Review, among other publications.
