She is an editor for Ghost Proposal, a journal for poetry and work outside of traditional notions of genre. She holds degrees from Harvard and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and was the inaugural winner of Poetry Magazine’s Prize for Visual Poetry. Her work can be found in Hyperallergic, Poetry, Boston Review, Yale Review, Futurepoem’s future-feed and elsewhere.

They are a poet in residence with the Chicago Poetry Center, a core faculty member for Story Studio and an editor with The Anarchist Review of Books.

MARTY MCCONNELL is a poet, educator, and healer based in Chicago. She is the author of the poetry collections “when they say you can’t go home again, what they mean is you were never there” and “wine for a shotgun” as well as “Gathering Voices: Creating a Community-Based Poetry Workshop.” She is the co-creator/co-editor of underbelly, a web site focused on the art and magic of revision, and the curator of the Chicago Poetry Center’s monthly Blue Hour workshop and reading series.
