Logan Timothy Phillips is a bilingual writer, poet and performer originally from the Arizona-Mexico borderlands, born in Tombstone in 1983. He is a veteran of the American poetry slam movement, having ranked nationally in competitions and toured throughout his native Southwest and beyond–to cities including Paris, New York City, and Penzance, England. He holds a degree in Spanglish from Northern Arizona University and has taught Latin American literature and translation at Universidad Internacional in Cuernavaca, Mexico. In 2007 he helped start the first two regular poetry slams in Mexico, as co-host and organizer. He has been called “the young voice of the Southwest,” by fellow poets and “the coolest” by eight-year-old Mexicans in his English class.
