Christopher Janke

Christopher Janke, M.F.A., is a poet, publisher, and entrepreneur. Now working primarily as a small business consultant, he has helped hundreds of organizations obtain financing for growth, to understand their project costs, and to achieve a balanced budget. His background as an artist and as a restaurateur help him to translate between the worlds of creativity and finance. He continues his art practices, making sculptural poems and conceptual films. His poems have been in Harper's, American Poetry Review, and dozens of other journals, and he has published two books of poems. He co-owns a local pub, The Rendezvous in Turners Falls; also in that town, he hosted a yearly lost-and-found fashion show sponsored by Suzee's Third St. Laundry. Slope Editions, the non-profit press he has run since 2002, publishes between 1 to 3 titles of innovative poetry each year.
