About the poets:
Michele Evans, a fifth-generation Washingtonian (D.C.), is the author of purl (Finishing Line Press, 2025), a contemporary poetry collection inspired by Homer's Odyssey and the verses of Phillis Wheatley Peters. Nominated for the 2025 Maya Angelou Book Award, purl reimagines feminine forces from Greek mythology and American history in today's world to celebrate the resilience of women bound by universal traumas threaded through life and literature. Poems from this collection first appeared in Artemis, The ASP Bulletin, Maryland Literary Review, Yellow Arrow Journal, and elsewhere. This Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee currently teaches English and Creative Writing in Northern Virginia and serves as the adviser of Unbound, a nationally recognized and award-winning high school literary magazine.
