Sosnowski, David Joseph was born on March 9, 1959, in Dearborn, Michigan, United States, into the family of Eugene and Florence (Nalezyty) Sosnowski.
David received Bachelor of Arts (with high distinction) at the University of Michigan, and then he earned Master of Fine Arts at the University of Alaska in 1985.
In Fairbanks David edited a small literary journal called permafrost, and taught freshman comp for two years. Then he moved back to Detroit and continued teaching freshman comp and creative writing for three more years at the universities of Michigan, Detroit, and Wayne State. After that David moved to Washington, District of Columbia, to become a program analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency, and moved back to Michigan to work for EPA's motor vehicle lab in Ann Arbor (where he continues to work today).
In between all that hopping around, he has written and published various pieces of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, having work appear in publications such as Alaska Quarterly Review, Passages North, River City, The Bridge, The MacGuffin, Lipservice, The MetroTimes, The AWP Newsletter, Heartland, Alaska Today and Creative Computing. He's also ghostwritten single-panel cartoons, which have appeared in assorted business and computer publications, as well as Health, Natural History, Harper's and People.
In 1995, he won a grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan to complete work on a novel-in-progress (begun and fleshed out during two residencies at the Ragdale artists' colony in Lake Forest, Illinois). That novel "Rapture" was purchased by Villard Books and first released in September 1996.
