Patrick Dunagan was raised a skateboarder in Southern California and became interested in poetry as a transplanted teenager living in New Hampshire. In 2011 Post Apollo Press published his first full length book There Are People Who Think That Painters Shouldn't Talk. He assists his partner Iranian poet Ava Koohbor with translations from Farsi. In addition, he is author of The Duncan Era: One Poet’s Cosmology (2016), and he edited a portfolio honoring poet David Meltzer for Dispatches From The Poetry Wars, as well as Meltzer's previously unpublished 1965 poetic reportage Rock Tao (2022).
