Adam Jameson was born and raised in Pittsburg, Kansas. He is a 1995 graduate of Pittsburg State University, where he earned a B.A. in History. His Whitmanesque job history includes self-employed construction, UPS, and Kansas City Southern Railroad. He currently works as an estimator for Westar Energy.

Adam started writing poetry in high school and has spent the last 25 years performing with White Buffalo Poetry and Blues. His poems have appeared in Harp, The Little Balkans Review, and To the Stars through Difficulty, and his first collection of poetry, #9 to Sallisaw, was released in 2013 by Little Balkans Press.

Adam lives in rural Pittsburg with his wife, Meredith, and son, Cole; his favorite past times are chasing pheasants in the fields of western Kansas and catching slab crappie in the strip pits around Pittsburg.
