Pablo Tanguay teaches screenwriting, poetry, fiction, and American literature at CCAD, where he has been on faculty since 2009. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from The Ohio State University and did his undergraduate work at Columbia and Middle Tennessee State. His poems and essays have appeared widely in journals and online, and he used to write a blog that attracted a modest but enthusiastic following (largely because he kept his expectations low [and his sentences short]).
Pablo also works as a senior academic advisor in the School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences at Ohio State, where he has advised and supported undergraduates for the better part of two decades. He has also served as the program manager in OSU’s English department, which is a way of saying he has spent too much time in meetings.
For a time, Pablo served as the program director for Healing Broken Circles, working inside Marion Correctional, a prison in central Ohio. He managed programming, coordinated volunteers, and worked with incarcerated human beings on their education, employment, and reentry, an experience that informs his teaching more than he usually lets on.
Pablo lives in Columbus with his kids and is probably reading something right now that he should have read years ago. Abolition Now.
