Anne Graue

Anne Graue

Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, Anne Graue lives in Mahopac, New York. She has been a poet since the age of 17 and a published poet since 2009. After earning a degree in creative writing and literature from Kansas State University, she spent 3 years in Kenya with the Peace Corps. She found her way to Columbia University in New York where she completed a master’s degree in English Education, and she’s been teaching and writing ever since. Most of her poems observe moments in the manufactured and natural worlds; the space between is where she finds the most tension and the most meaning. Many of her poems are moments of memoir. 

Anne is the author of Full and Plum-Colored Velvet, (Woodley Press, 2020) and Fig Tree in Winter (Dancing Girl Press, 2017). She has poetry in SWWIM Every Day, Rivet Journal, Mom Egg Review, Into the Void, and in numerous print anthologies, including The Book of Donuts (Terrapin Books, 2017) and Coffee Poems (World Enough Writers, 2019). Her reviews of poetry collections have been published in Glass: A Journal of Poetry, The Rupture, Whale Road Review, Green Mountains Review, and The Rumpus. She is a poetry editor for The Westchester Review
