My Guest: Feb 17 Poet Rebecca Schumejda
"Currently, I live in New York's scenic Hudson Valley with my husband and our daughter. I write and teach English and US History at an alternative high school. I was born and raised on Long Island. I moved around, but ended up back in New York, this time landlocked, my view mountains instead of waves. I received my BA in English from SUNY New Paltz and my MA in Poetics and Creative Writing from San Francisco State University.
My poetry has appeared here and there over the years. My new collection Falling Forward is upcoming from sunnyoutside press. In addition, sunnyoustide published my chapbook Dream Big, Work Harder in November of 2006 and my poem "Logic" on a postcard. In 2001, Green Bean Press published my chapbook The Tear Duct of The Storm. What seems to be a lifetime ago, I co-edited a small press zine, reuben's kincaid. "
