Melissa Buzzeo is the author of For Want and Sound ( Les Figues,

2013), Face (BookThug, 2009), and What Began Us (Leon Works, 2007).

Her poetic work has been greatly charged by a long engagement with

hypnosis, palm reading and a desire for an altered consciousness tied

to the body but radiating outward, which is to say healing. Or

writing.  She graduated from Cornell University and The University of

Iowa's Writing Workshop, and currently teaches both Creative Writing

and Architecture at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. This year she is the

2013 Poet in Residence at Opus Projects Gallery in Chelsea.

chapbook Dolly (Q Ave Press, curated by Ross Gay, with the paintings
of Kim Thomas). Her work has also appeared in The Claudius App,
Aufgabe, The Recluse, Callaloo, Ploughshares, Tuesday; An Art Project,
