One of Ballantine’s short stories, 'The Blue Devils of Blue River Avenue', was included in Best American Short Stories 1998 and one of his essays, '501 Minutes to Christ', appeared in Best American Essays 2006. His essay 'Free Rent at the Totalitarian Hotel' (originally published in The Sun) opened Best American Essays 2013. Ballantine's essays and short stories have also appeared in the Coal City Review, Kenyon Review, and Atlantic Monthly. He has guest blogged for PowellsBooks.Blog^[1] and Marion Roach Smith's 'Writing Lessons.'^[2]

In 2013 Hawthorne Books & Literary Arts published Ballantine's memoir, Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere with an introduction by Cheryl Strayed. Praised by Bruce Jacobs in Shelf Awareness as a 'funny memoir and 'true crime' mashup by one of the country's best vagabond raconteurs'^[3] and by Cheryl Strayed as 'his best book ever',^[4] the memoir follows Ballantine's interest in the disappearance of a professor from the town of Chadron, Nebraska. When Love & Terror was picked for The Rumpus Book Club, Rumpus publisher Stephen Elliott wrote 'everyone is going apeshit. I mean, stark raving mad. People love the hell out of this book. The book was blurbed by our very own Cheryl Strayed, it’s like 12 Monkeys inside the book club right now. Absolute chaos.'^[5]Love & Terror and the true crime circumstances that surround its creation are also the subject of a documentary of the same name by filmmaker Dave Jannetta.^[6]

Poe Ballantine lives in Chadron, Nebraska with his wife Cristina and their son Thomas Francisco.
