About Morrigan

Hello! I'm a junior moderator here on YWS. I just graduated from Peru State College with a Bachelor of Science in English and a minor in Journalism.

I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago, but I moved to Nebraska for school. After graduation, I trekked across the country to live in California.

My favorite book is the one that takes me to a different place, whether that's tesseracting across the universe to fight a giant IT, or to a yellow house down the road that is too big for the frail old woman who lives there.

I will leave you with my favorite haiku, by Buson.

Overripe sushi,
the master
is full of regret.

Browsing the internet for things I cannot afford

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
