Marni Ludwig 
 
Marni Ludwig holds degrees from Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University and Washington University in St. Louis.  Her poems have appeared in Boulevard, FIELD, Gulf Coast, High Chair, JERRY, Western Humanities Review and other journals. Her chapbook, Little Box of Cotton and Lightning, was selected by Susan Howe for a 2011 Poetry Society of America Chapbook Fellowship. She lives in St. Louis and Brooklyn.

"Marni Ludwig has a vast and original mind and spirit, which along with her quiet, sometimes sharp humor, and her tenderness, implicate everyone.  Her skill is like a good horse, who becomes one with the rider and with her wild, unheard of travels.  Here is the real thing."
