Abramson joined the University of New Hampshire faculty in the Fall of 2015 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he taught Creative Writing and Freshman Composition.
In addition to teaching, Abramson is a prolific author and active in the literary community. He's written several books, including a novel-in-verse titled The Suburban Ecstasies and the forthcoming Metamericana (2015) and DATA (2016), both mixed-genre collections.
Abramson has also attracted considerable attention for his poetry. His third book, Thievery, won the Akron Poetry Prize in 2012 and was the first runner-up for the Edna Meudt Book Prize in 2014. His second book, Northerners, won the Green Rose Prize from New Issues Poetry & Prose in 2010 and was named a top 25 National Bestseller by the Poetry Foundation of Chicago in May 2011. Additionally, Abramson is a regular contributor to Indiewire and The Huffington Post and is the Series Co-Editor of Best American Experimental Writing, an annual anthology whose second volume will be published in 2015 by Wesleyan University Press.
After earning his Bachelor's in English from Dartmouth College, where he graduated cum laude in 1998, Abramson went on to earn his JD from Harvard Law School in 2001. From there he went to work for the New Hampshire Public Defender's office in Nashua for six years.
