Yona Harvey is a swish escaping the net. She rises in the light of blue curtains & sleeps with one ear open. She is a Cave Canem Fellow, maybe she is the water from which she pulls her baby son. Her work has appeared in Poem Memoir Story, Gulf Coast, Callaloo, Ploughshares, and Gathering Round: A Reader Celebrating Cave Canem's First Decade. ÊShe should keep better track of her volunteeringÑcarpooling, book sharing, telling the stories of Martin Luther King, Jr. She currently teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she lives with her husband and two children. Next year, she'll probably go swimming in Tokyo. Read her here and here.
