Hi, I'm Andrea Blythe. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Modern Literature, and live in the Bay Area, California, where I scratch at notebooks and write poetry and fiction. My poetry has appeared in several publications, including Chiaroscuro (ChiZine), Strange Horizons, Perigee, Z-composition, Bear Creek Haiku, and Chinquapin. In 2010, my poem “India” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. In general I gravitate toward writing fantasy and science fiction, and I love reworking folklore and fairytales. The world is full of beautiful things unacknowledged and possibilities ignored. I would like to believe in ghosts, vampires, fairies, fortune tellers, witches, magic makers, hidden realms, and so much more, but at heart I'm more of a skeptic than I pretend to be. Much of this is reflected in my writing.

Thanks to everyone who submitted prompts for the poetry project. They are being processed — which means I'm letting them swirl around the back of my brain in the hope they eventually take shape on the page. New poems should be coming soon.

@MarcellaMoorcroft Thank you! I'm like that, too. When it's too hot, I can hardly think and just want to lie there and do nothing.
