Шаблон:Short description Gabrielle Calvocoressi is an American poet, editor, essayist, and professor.

Life and career

Gabrielle Calvocoressi was born in 1974 in central Connecticut. Their family owned movie theaters, including a drive-in, in several small towns across the state. Calvocoressi, who identifies as nonbinary and lesbian, has used their writing to reflect on their mother's mental illness and suicide; their work also explores small town America, history, sexuality, faith, violence, gender, and the body.

They studied at Sarah Lawrence College and earned an MFA from Columbia University.

They have been a visiting professor of poetry at UCLA, Bennington College, and UC-Irvine, and held a Stegner Fellowship and a Jones Lectureship at Stanford University. They also taught in the MFA program at California College of the Arts.

Calvocoressi is Poetry Editor at Large for the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB). Stemming from their "deep interest in interdisciplinary approaches to writing, art, and ecological culture," they created Voluble, an "off-the-page makers’ space for writers and artists of all kinds," supported by LARB.

They have written about their experiences with nystagmus and how the visual/neurological difference has shaped their work as a poet and a reader.

They now teach in the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers, and at University of North Carolina Chapel-Hill, where they are an Associate Professor and Walker Percy Fellow in Poetry. They live in North Carolina with their partner Angeline Shaka. Currently, they serve as the director for The Frost Place Conference on Poetry in Franconia, NH.
