EM Hodge -- Golden Crown Literary Award recipient for poetry, for the poetry collection, Undone

Born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, by a single mother in a housing project. Immediately after graduating high school, I joined the Navy. 

In the Navy, I was asked and I told. Out I came.
Earned degrees in philosophy, women's studies. 

After a few short stints teaching philosophy in colleges in Vermont and in St.Louis, I ended up with a tenure track job at a small college in California. 

Currently, I write full time for Sapphire Books, fulfilling an aspect of my life's dream.
