Poetry/Prose Editor
michelle li
Michelle Li lives in TX and loves writing. She has been recognized by Scholastic Art and Writing, Poetry Nation, published in A Celebration of Poets, Quills and Keyboard, and Idle Ink. She also loves reading—she’ll read practically anything she can get her hands on, the more absurd and emotional the work, the better, and plays piano and violin. Lastly, she has an unhealthy obsession with cheese, morally grey characters, and Sylvia Plath.
