Lissa Kiernan

Poet, writer, educator.

 

My first full-length volume of poetry, Two Faint Lines in the Violet (Negative Capability Press), was a 2014 Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award finalist, as well as a finalist for the Julie Suk Award for Best Poetry Book by an Independent Press. 

My second book, and first book of prose, Glass Needles & Goose Quills: Elementary Lessons in Atomic Properties, Nuclear Families, and Radical Poetics, is just out from Haley's (July 2017).

I am the founder, executive director, and a teaching artist for the Poetry Barn, a literary center based in New York's Hudson Valley, sponsoring  workshops, readings, craft talks, and book arts for all ages. 

I build, manage, and maintain various websites, with an emphasis on literary, arts, and nonprofit sites.

Also? I like cats.
