For 19 years, he edited poetry for New England Review, stepping down from the post of poetry editor there in August 2014.[2] His poems have appeared in many magazines and journals, including The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, The Paris Review, POETRY, Yale Review, and elsewhere. His work has also been included in anthologies, including The Best American Poetry.[3]
Young grew up in south Florida, and his early work is inspired by the tropical landscape of his home state.
