Carol Mikoda (she/her) walks, sings, and writes from the eastern shore of Seneca Lake in Hector, New York. Her poems draw heavily on natural imagery from her surroundings in the Finger Lakes; as a guest in the original homeland of the living Haudenosaunee Confederacy, she extends her respect and gratitude to the many Indigenous people who call this land home. Her work has appeared in many literary journals and newspapers. Her first chapbook, While You Wait, was published late in 2021.
