Chris lives in North Florida and spends as much time as she can on the water and in the swamps.

Her recent work has appeared in The Academy of American Poets’ Poem a Day series\, in Poetry\, Ecotone\, and Terrain.org among other publications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGRACE MCGOVERN is a poet whose work is concerned with the lyric voice\, lesbian domesticity and interiority\, and sites of simultaneous unease and tenderness—as well as kitschy figurines of all kinds. She is an MFA candidate in poetry at Washington University in St. Louis. She was born in Rhode Island and now lives in St. Louis with her wife and their dog and two cats. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Poetry at the Point series is supported in part by:
