RAUAN KLASSNIK was born in Johannesburg, South Africa (the deep South) and now spends most of his time in Mexico. His first book, Holy Land, was released April 2008 from Black Ocean. His Chapbook, Ringing, came out March 2009 from Kitchen Press. Another chapbook, Dreaming, is due out this summer from Scantily Clad Press. Rauan is a shy, quiet soul. Rauan likes the afternoons.
