Irene is a writer, book artist, and educator based in Brooklyn. Her review writing, fiction, and poetry have appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, Chronogram, Visitant, and featured in The Poetry Project’s archive. Irene is fascinated by the places where land and dreams meet. She holds an MFA in writing from Pratt Institute and has appeared in its literary magazine, The Felt.
Her writing is quiet, perhaps even naive. But Schloss is enamored by the minutiae of her subjects, and the exactness and delicacy of her details ripple out like water. Trying to focus on one aspect of the book would be to let the entire thing go.
