R.G. Pagano lives in Newton, Massachusetts. He resided in Italy for a time and frequently travels there with his wife, drawing on those experiences for his creative work.
His poems have appeared in Harrow House Journal, Lunch Ticket, and Italian anthologies Nei Miei Occhi, Tu and Ho Girato il Mondo per Incontrarti (each associated with the Premio San Valentino–Atripalda, Italy).
His lyrical sensibility also extends to his short fiction in SQUID Online Journal and Thirteen Bridges Review; creative nonfiction in The Account: A Journal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought; and forthcoming novella, Like Magic (Type Eighteen Books, 2027).
Burnt Fields Under Snow is his first collection of poems.
