Javier Sandoval grew up in the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico, but later immigrated to Wisconsin (where his mother sent him to kindergarten every day in a cowboy hat), Texas (falling for its blues), then North Carolina (living in a shelter for three years). After consulting minority-owned businesses and building a startup invested in by Microsoft, he received Brown University’s full-ride Leadership Endowed Award, where he studied creative writing under Forrest Gander, C.D. Wright, and John Wideman; had his writing featured in 2 Billion Under 20 (St. Martin’s Press); and published his first book of fiction, a literary gang-thriller, Cicada, Ladybug (Thought Catalog Books). He’s now a Graduate Council Fellow at the University of Alabama’s MFA program where he teaches and serves as Poetry Editor of Black Warrior Review. His stories, poems, and essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Indiana Review, Salt Hill, FOLIO, and The Madison Review, among others, and in 2023 he was the North American winner of Frontier Poetry’s Global Poetry Prize.
