Roberto Harrison is the author of Counter Daemons, published by Litmus Press in August, 2006. He was born in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1962, to Panamanian parents. A few months after his birth, he and his family moved back to Panama, where they lived until he was seven. In 1969, he and his family moved to Delaware. His first language was Spanish, and he did not begin learning English until arriving in Delaware.

Harrison has lived in various places throughout the United States including Boston, Bloomington, Indiana, San Francisco, and (as of this publication) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he works as a systems librarian. He edits Crayon with Andrew Levy, and the Bronze Skull Press chapbook series. His work has appeared in Talisman, Jacket, New American Writing, Mandorla, Salt (UK), Cordite (Australia), Antennae, and many other journals.
