Keri Marinda Smith was born in South Africa in 1985. She grew up in Florida, moving around the state until she settled in Gainesville after finishing college. She played in several bands while she lived there, then moved to New York to attend the New School for an MFA in Creative Writing. While there she won the school’s annual Paul Violi Prize, and graduated in 2017. She lives in Brooklyn and works in bars, and rarely sleeps.
From loose pages to issue 119 of our magazine, an anthology of over 100 HLP poets, over a decade of the Loose Award for translated works, the Founders prize for first book in its third year, and a bunch of great books in the works, we couldn’t have come this far without you.
