Ann Petroliunas is a current student in PSU’s creative nonfiction writing MFA program and a 2017 graduate of the prose certificate program at the Independent Publishing Resource Center in Portland, OR. She is an educator, writer, and managing editor at Arq Press. Born and raised in Chicago, she now resides in Oregon and often gets confused about which one is home. Ocean waves, glue-sticks, and avocados are a few of her favorite things. Her work has been published in The Rumpus, Hot Metal Bridge, Heavy Feather Review, and Memoir Mixtapes. Find her at www.annpetroliunas.com
Poetry:
Born and raised on the east side of Oʻahu, Charity’s current work explores the liminal — bodies and boundaries, motherlines, the latitudes of belonging. And occasionally, her two-year old feisty feline guide, Rumi. Her poetry is featured and forthcoming in Frontier Poetry, PRISM international, Ruminate Magazine, and others.
