Zachary West was born and raised in Homestead, Florida and spent much of his early childhood throwing over-ripe avocados at avocado trees. He attended the University of Florida in Gainesville where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in English. He currently lives in Gainesville where he plans his excursions to the four corners of the earth. One may hear him read his poetry at the Civic Media Center's Poetry Jam.
