Angela Szczepaniak

Congenitally ornithophobic, Angela Szczepaniak is neckdeep in a doctoral dissertation on innovative poetry, dysfunctional detective fiction, and comic books. In addition to publishing poetry and critical essays, and working as a poetry editor for Redwood Coast Press, she participated in LOCCAL’s first hygiene themed poetry-art project—traces of her visual poetry may still be found on placards in some of the finest public restrooms in Seattle. Her work has since surfaced in places as various as Mad Hatters’ Review, In Posse Review, and some knockdown stunning Belgian art galleries. At the moment, she lives in Toronto, where she increasingly thinks about being ravaged by time’s withered claw. Her first book is a novel-in-poems, called Unisex Love Poems(DC Books).
