Chloe Joan Lopez is a poet, a recent convert to the writing of fiction, and now a critic. Her first poetry collection, recently awarded the Elixir Press Editor's Prize, is forthcoming in 2013. Recognized in 2006 by the Massachusetts Cultural Council's Artist Grant Program, her poetry has also appeared in such journals as Mississippi Review, St. Petersburg Review, and DIAGRAM, as well as in a chapbook, Quodlibet (New Michigan Press, 2009). She is now at work on a new collection, a sequence of short stories, and a chimerical novel in verse and prose. The progress of such fancies can be tracked at chlojolo.com or @chlojolo on Twitter.
