Chris Dombrowski is from Michigan and is known far and wide for his debut nonfiction book, Body Of Water: A Sage, A Seeker, And The World’s Most Elusive Fish. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chris and getting to hear about his story and what inspired this book as well as his other fictional publications. Chris is from Michigan and earned his MFA from Montana where he then published Fragments with Dusk in Them (2008), September Miniatures with Blood and Mars (2012), and the collections By Cold Water (2009) and Earth Again (2013). Chris is quite the poet and draws a lot of inspiration from an early reading of Norman McLean’s novella A River Runs Through It.

Chris still lives in Montana where he is a fly-fishing guide, director of the 406 Writers’ Workshop and the Beargrass Writing Retreat, and the Kittredge Distinguis
