Poetry

Rebecca Brock has lived in Virginia for nearly 20 years and still isn't used to the humidity.  She has been a flight attendant for most of her adult life and is still surprised by this fact. 

​

She holds an MFA from Bennington College and received a Virginia Commission for the Arts Fellowship in 2006. A MacDowell Fellow, her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. In 2022, she won the Women's Poetry Contest at Kelsay Books judged by Katie Manning, the Muriel Craft Bailey Poetry Contest judged by Ellen Bass and the Editor's Choice Award at Sheila-Na-Gig. Her chapbook, Each Bearing Out (Kelsay Books, 2022) was a semifinalist in the New Women's Voices Contest at Finishing Line Press. Her first full length collection, The Way Land Breaks, is now available from Sheila-Na-Gig Editions.
