Publisher's Synopsis
Emily O'Neill was born on the bedroom floor in her mother's childhood home and has been making loud messes ever since. Her first collection, Pelican, won YesYes Books' inaugural Pamet River Prize and her recent work has been featured in Cutbank, The Journal, Minnesota Review, Redivider, and Washington Square, among many others. She has a degree in the synaesthesia of storytelling from Hampshire College and, when not selling sushi and sake bombs at a rock n roll izakaya in the Fenway, teaches writing at the Boston Center for Adult Education.
