He received a B.A. from the University of Chicago, where he edited The Chicago Literary Review, and went to graduate school at the University of California, Irvine. His dissertation was on the ethics of address in the poems of Emily Dickinson and Killarney Clary.

He lives in Santa Cruz, California, with Cherie Barkey, and their two children, Jules and Amina Barivan.
