Melissa Buzzeo is the author of For Want and Sound (Les
Figues, 2013), Face (BookThug, 2009), and What Began
Us (Leon Works, 2007). Her poetic work has been greatly charged
by a long engagement with hypnosis, palm reading and a
desire for an altered consciousness tied to the body but radiating
outward, which is to say healing. Or writing. She graduated from
Cornell University and The University of Iowa's Writing Workshop, and
currently teaches both Creative Writing and Architecture at Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn. This year she is the 2013 Poet in Residence at Opus
Projects Gallery in Chelsea.
