This week we welcome Abby E. Murray as our guest author. Abby has moved around the country for the past ten years, working in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, and now New York, where she is a Ph.D. student at Binghamton University. Her second chapbook, Quick Draw: Poems from a Soldier’s Wife, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2012, and her poems appear or are forthcoming in Rattle, Crab Creek Review, River Styx, and New Ohio Review. She is an editor for Harpur Palate and currently directs the Binghamton Poetry Project, an organization for which she also teaches, offering free poetry workshops to soldiers and veterans in the Southern Tier area of New York. When she isn’t teaching undergraduate courses at Binghamton University or writing, she is teaching Suzuki method violin lessons for kids.
Welcome, Abby.
