Michelle Murphy is a writer who lives in Reno, Nevada. She's lived in a van, on the edge of a creek, in a shotgun flat in North Beach, and now lives at the top of a highrise above the Truckee River that she shares with her husband, daughter and mean-ish cat. Her first book Jackknife & Light (Avec Books) was shortlisted for the National Poetry Series. More information can be found at https: //murphypoetry.wordpress.com/
