Adrie Rose is a poet and editor. Her work recently appeared at Poets.org, The Baltimore Review, Nimrod, the Ploughshares blog & more.
“Adrie has an uncanny ability to write bracing and thoroughly original and important poems of the moment: social criticism, race, faith, class, and climate. These are topics that usually lead to dead end poems that sound like journalism. It’s really tough to write such poems and she’s really good at it. She’s also a great formal experimenter, writing erasures and right justified poems and treats every poem as altogether itself. ”
Adrie regularly offers writing classes online and in person- check the links page for upcoming opportunities. She also does chapbook manuscript consultations. Use the contact page for more info.
