Michelle Awad Follow

Michelle Awad (she/her) is a poet, occasional novelist, and dedicated observer of the everyday, convinced that poetry can be found anywhere—provided one looks closely enough. Her work often explores themes of nostalgia, memory, and the unseen, tracing the ghosts and emotional detritus that shape the human experience. She is the author of the debut collection Soul Trash, Space Garbage and the chapbook Poems for the Apocalypse. Awad resides in New Orleans, where she can often be found enjoying a gin and tonic on an ironwork balcony or seeking insight from readers in Jackson Square.
