About Thomas L. Vaultonburg

Thomas L. Vaultonburg  owns and operates Zombie Logic Press, in Rockford, IL.  Thomas is available for readings and workshops. Born in 1969, Thomas L. Vaultonburg grew up in the shadows of the Byron Nuclear plant. Despite this, or possibly because of it, he went on to have a distinguished career as a child, including winning three consecutive Presidential Physical Fitness Awards.

Thomas L. Vaultonburg began publishing poetry in the small press scene at age 19, and encouraged by poets like Ron Androla, Gerald Locklin, Todd Moore and Charles Bukowski, soon wracked up an impressive list of publications before he dropped out of the publishing scene altogether to pursue a career in the restaurant/bar business, where he worked 12 years as a bartender, bouncer, and finally owned his own bar, Castaways, with his brother Dan. Since 1997 Vaultonburg's poetry can only be read at Zombie Logic Press.

Thomas L. Vaultonburg is a poet, actor, editor, screenwriter, bloggist, painter and founder of the Zombie Party (Z). He unsuccessfully ran for Winnebago County Coroner twice, but undeterred by his crushing defeats has set his site on statewide office in 2012. He is a lover of the Chicago Cubs, Devo, Tab Cola, and Women's Flat Track Roller Derby.
