About the Author

LeAnna Crawford has always had a special place for the absurd, the extraordinary, the art that pushes the boundaries of what we call art. She’s been an actor, an artist’s model, and everything in between, but all the time a poet. Finally giving in to her secret obsession LeAnna received her MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University in Los Angeles in 2007. Her work has been seen in places ranging from the Oklahoma Review, to early editions of Gertrude, a journal of voice and vision. This early publication in fact, led in part to LeAnna’s current appointment to the board of directors for the Portland based queer literary and arts press, Gertrude Press. In addition, LeAnna also teaches writing at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Oregon.
