Dave Bonta (website, Twitter) is a multimedia poet and web publisher from central Pennsylvania, living in a classic Appalachian hollow in the upper Juniata watershed. He's best known for the influential poetry film blog Moving Poems, and his own videopoems have appeared in festivals around the world. He recently published a book of dystopian haibun called Failed State, and his 2017 collection of ecopoetry, Ice Mountain: An Elegy, was a finalist in the Banff Mountain Book Competition. He's nine years into a slightly unhinged, decade-long project to make an erasure poem out of every entry in the Diary of Samuel Pepys, posting the results to Via Negativa. Other on-going projects include a series of haibun videopoems with the working title Pandemic Year, a hyper-local daily microblog called The Morning Porch, and photo haiga at his long-running Woodrat photohaiku blog.
