About Me

Hi there! My name is Michelle, and I am a 33-year-old poet based in New Orleans, LA. I have been writing and studying poetry for over 15 years and hold a B.A. in English; Writing. In December 2021, I self-published my first full-length collection, Soul Trash, Space Garbage. You can find more of my writing on Instagram under the name @theconstantpoet. 

Poets I admire include Mary Oliver, Kim Addonizio, Joy Harjo, Andrea Gibson, Rudy Francisco, Warsaw Shire, and many others. 

In 2018, I moved from Tennessee to New Orleans because it called to something deep in my soul. In 2021, my partner and I bought a house in Algiers where we live with our dog and fearless squirrel chaser, Eli. I have a day job writing technical proposals for government contracts, and I spend most weekends either binge watching TV or at a coffee shop working on poetry things.
