Biographical History
Robert Michael Ferro was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, on October 21, 1941, raised in Cranford, and received a BA degree in English from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, in 1963. He enrolled at the Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa in the fall of 1965, and received an MFA in Creative Writing in 1967. During his final semester at Iowa, Ferro met Michael Grumley (1941-1988), also a student at the Writers Workshop, and the two began a two-decade-long personal and professional partnership; the couple lived primarily on New York's Upper West Side, but also spent extended periods of time in Rome and London. Ferro was affiliated with a literary group known as the Violet Quill, whose seven members are regarded as one of the strongest collective voices of the gay male experience in the post-Stonewall era. He died in New Jersey from AIDS-related complications on July 11, 1988.
