Introduction Antonio Hopson is a fiction writer out of South Seattle's Rainer Beach neighborhood, where Vietnamese restaurants, Kosher groceries and Black Baptist churches are crowded onto the same city block.

Antonio’s short stories and poetry have been published in (Quiet Shorts Magazine, Wonder Boy, 20 Dissidents, Stellar Showcase Journal and Old Growth Journal) and electronic journals (The Harrow Magazine, Monongahela Review, The Subterranean Quarterly, OutCry Magazine, Lost Magazine, Ignavia Press, The Piker Press and also NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu's Exquisite Corpse). He has received Farmhouse Magazine's Reader's Choice and was invited to perform at Seattle’s Richard Hugo House as a featured writer. In 2008 he was selected to participate in Evergreen College’s Literary Conference on “Activism and the Avant-Garde”. Please visit AntonioHopson.com to see what he is up to these days.
