Jenny Drai is the author of three collections of poetry: [the door] (Trembling Pillow Press) and Wine Dark and The History Worker (both from Black Lawrence Press). Her short stories have been published in Alaska Quarterly Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, and as the winner of the Agnes B. Crump Prize in Experimental Fiction in Pleiades, as well as other journals. She has recently completed both a novel and a short story collection and is at work on another novel and a collection of nontraditional essays interweaving autobiographical writing with stories from art, history, hagiography, and literature, of which “the arm in the case” is a part. She is online at jennydrai.com where she blogs occasionally (in multiple languages) and posts photos.
