Randy Koch taught at Laredo College from 1997-2002 and at TAMIU from 2002-2007, earned an MFA in poetry writing at the University of Wyoming in 2009, and then taught for eleven more years at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. After retiring from teaching during the early days of COVID, he returned to southwestern Minnesota, the area where he grew up, and during the next five years, researched and wrote three volumes of family history. He’s also the author of several poetry collections—Composing Ourselves, This Splintered Horse, and Against the Risen Flesh—and a textbook called Serving Sentences: Twelve Ways to Break Out a Better Writer. In 2025 he moved back to Laredo and is working on a memoir of his twenties and experimenting with some new poems. And he runs (slowly), just to be sure he still can.

Gawd, Randito! I almost started writing about gun nuts until I saw your name. I have a Concealed Handgun License and own several firearms, but no semi-automatic military assault weapons. I was trained in gun safety be a good friend, a Marine Vietnam veteran. I don’t hunt because I would never hurt any creature with four legs. Texas Republican legislators are keenly stupid and don’t care about humanity. Keep being cool…!
Thanks a lot, Carlos!
So good! Thanks.
Thanks, Dan.
Finally….thanks
