Poetry, for my sins.

The author of Permit Me to Write My Own Ending, (Write Bloody Publishing, 2023) which was a finalist for the 2024 Sheila Margaret Motton Book Prize, her work appears in The Maine Review, The McNeese Review, CALYX Press and elsewhere. She was the 2023 recipient of the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund’s poetry grant. Her new collection, Daughters of the Minotaur, engages with the lives and work of five visionary twentieth-century women artists, and was the winner of the 2025 Terry J. Cox Poetry Prize. It is forthcoming in May 2027 from Regal House Publishing. When she's not writing poetry, you can find her at the helm of Arbutus, the nonprofit founded by artist and musician David Byrne, or running up all sorts of hills with no problem. www.rebeccafaulknerpoet.com
