Bryanna Licciardi resists the question, "Where are you from?" She has lived all over the country-California, Texas, Michigan, Massachussetts, Louisiana-and currently resides just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. She received her BA in English from Austin Peay State University and her MFA in Poetry from Emerson College. Currently, she's studying literacy in a doctoral program at Middle Tennessee State University, where she also works as an academic advisor. When she's not working on a new diet plan for her overweight cat, Bryanna writes poetry, fiction, essays and lectures. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in such publications as BlazeVOX, Cleaver Magazine, Poetry Quarterly, Adirondack Review, Study.com, and Luna Luna.
