Adrienne Veronese was born in Portland, Oregon, and calls the Pacific Northwest home. She apprenticed at Boston’s Stone Soup Poetry at seventeen, and at nineteen was teaching the graduate poetry workshop under University of Oregon’s poet in residence, John Haislip. While attending Antioch University in Seattle, she headlined at the first Bumbershoot Festival to feature poets local to the Pacific Northwest. Her poetry and essays have been published in a wide variety of literary journals, broadsides, chapbooks and anthologies. She has published three novels and a picture book with poetic insights about the plight of drunken shopping carts. Currently, she maintains a poetry blog while producing a popular fiction podcast.
