Emily J Schnipper (she/her) was born on a very late, very hot summer night in New York City. At the edge of perception, “What’s Love Got to Do with It” was playing on a boombox. A writer of poetry and nonfiction, Emily is interested in nature, memes, things left unsaid, and collective liberation. Emily graduated with an MFA in creative writing from Pacific Northwest College of Art. Her most recent publications are poems in Deep Overstock and DUMP Magazine. Emily lives in Portland with her muse, a spectral, unnaturally large hellhound named Chance.
