Maggie Nelson is originally from northern California. Her first full-length collection, Shiner, was published by Hanging Loose in 2001, and was a finalist for the Norma Farber First Book Award. Her work has appeared in many anthologies and journals, including The Best American Poetry 2002 (ed. Robert Creeley), Heights of the Marvelous: A New York Anthology (St. Martin’s Press, 2000), The Hat, LIT, Open City, and Shiny. She is a founding editor of Fort Necessity, a small literary magazine, and has taught at Wesleyan University and the New School Graduate writing Program in Creative writing. She is a doctoral candidate in English at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and lives in Brooklyn.

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.
