Maya Phillips

Chantal Corcoran is a Canadian immigrant (not a refugee—these words are not synonymous) residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She’s also an MFA graduate of the Bennington Writing Seminars and a 2016 Pushcart Prize nominee. Her nonfiction has appeared in The Chronicle Review and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her fiction can be found at Litro, The Milo Review, Lost Magazine and Monkey Bicycle. She occasionally writes book reviews for The Common and for various Las Vegas publications. Usually, she prefers words to numbers—but, in this case, the numbers are most telling.
