Michael Adubato, born and raised in New Jersey, USA, is a poet and writer who works for NATO, although not in a poetic capacity. Living in Belgium, where he settled after his military career, he travels extensively for both work and pleasure.

His poetry has previously been published in Ariel Chart (where he was nominated for Best of the Net in 2020 for To Soignies Station), The Piker Press, The Dope Fiend Daily and most recently The Indian Periodical. One of his passions is soccer and he writes about this constantly on the Yanks Abroad webpage (www.yanks-abroad.co).
