Emily-Sue Sloane lives in Huntington Station, NY, where she enjoys writing, reading, practicing yoga, and exploring Long Island’s natural beauty. After she retired from a career in publishing, she revived a long-dormant writing practice, finding inspiration in the backyard, at the beach, in the woods, in the news, and in watching and listening to folks along the way. Her poetry has won contest awards and is published in a variety of anthologies and literary reviews, including Evening Street Review, Mobius Magazine, Muddy River Poetry Review, Nassau County Poet Laureate Society Review, Panoply, The Poeming Pigeon, The RavensPerch, and past issues of the Front Porch Review. She published her first full-length poetry collection, We Are Beach Glass, this year. For more information, please visit emilysuesloane.com.
