Anna Lena Phillips

Poetry Editor

Anna Lena Phillips received an MFA in creative writing from Emerson College in 2006 and moved back south as soon as she could thereafter. Her writing appears in BlazeVOX, Open Letters Monthly, the Anthology of Appalachian Writers, and others. She is the recipient of the Southern Women Writers Conference’s 2012 Emerging Writers Award in poetry, a 2012 Nazim Hikmet Poetry Contest award, a 2011 Emerging Artist grant from the Durham County Arts Council, and 2008 and 2009 Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg prizes. She has been awarded residencies at Penland School of Crafts and the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities.

Her projects and pursuits, which include letterpress printing, oldtime Appalachian music and dance, and investigations of the Piedmont landscape, are catalogued at todointhenewyear.net. One such project, a letterpress-printed, pocket-sized guide to poetic forms, is slated for release in 2013. Anna Lena is a founding editor of Fringe.
