poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and

Talia Green is a lover of words: a writer, editor, musician, humanitarian. She is a recent honors graduate from Emory University, having earned her BA in English and Creative Writing. Among other notable publications, her work has appeared in SELF Magazine (Condé Nast), A Gathering of the Tribes Magazine, Alloy Literary Magazine, and Jabberwok Review.
She looks forward to the publication of her first poetry book, Faces and Frames: Thoughts on a Moment, to be released in the fall of 2020.
